Question
My 50-day-old baby has never been outside since birth, and the air conditioner has been running in the room. Last night, when the baby started crying, its voice became hoarse. I’ve read online that it could be due to stomach upset, so I always make sure to give it water before feeding. But now, it’s still hoarse.
Answer
Based on your description, the first thing to check is the room temperature at home; is it too dry or too cold? The baby’s crying must be uncomfortable, and the room temperature should always be maintained between 22 to 24 degrees Celsius, with humidity at 50% to 60%. Also, be mindful of cold prevention to avoid exposure.
