Question

Why do children’s voices sound hoarse from a young age, and is it rougher than those of other children? Is it a normal phenomenon or caused by some other reason? Do they need to see a doctor?

Answer

Hello, a child’s hoarse voice may be due to a cold leading to mild inflammation, which can usually be improved by drinking plenty of water. However, in severe cases, it may result in tonsillitis and subsequent high fever. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a check-up to determine the cause. In addition, you can try the following methods:

  1. Consume Silver Ear: Wash the white fungus, soak it until it swells, tear it into strips, blanch it in boiling water first, then rinse with cold water, and mix with vinegar before eating. Take two times a day, with no limit on the amount; symptoms should improve within two days.
  2. Consume Celery: Wash the celery, cut it into segments, blanch it, and mix with vinegar before eating. Take one small plate each time, two times a day.
