Question
The newborn’s voice started to sound hoarse four days after birth. The crying was normal on the first day, but increased at night on the second day. On the morning of the third day, there was slight hoarseness, and the situation became more severe in the afternoon with a body temperature of 37.5 degrees. Previous treatments and effects included taking antiviral syrup (with sugar). Assistance needed includes consultation or treatment.
Answer
Based on the description, the newborn’s hoarseness may be caused by fever. It is recommended to immediately visit a regular hospital’s neonatal department for a detailed examination and treatment, and to undergo a blood routine test to determine the type of bacteria causing the infection, thereby conducting targeted treatment. Take medication under the doctor’s guidance and closely monitor any changes in the condition. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you health.
