Question
If a child’s voice is hoarse but breastfeeding is normal, and the symptoms persist without improvement, what should be done?
Answer
A hoarse voice in children could be a manifestation of acute laryngitis, often caused by a viral infection. The treatment plan should include anti-inflammatory and antiviral therapy. In the short term, consider using a small amount of hormone therapy and performing nebulizer inhalation treatment. Since the child is young, it is recommended that parents take their child to a specialist doctor for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, be mindful of preventing heat-related issues, and wish for the child to recover quickly.
