Patient's question:
My baby is one week old and often has a hoarse voice. From birth until now, many doctors have said it's caused by soft laryngeal cartilage and calcium deficiency. If they drink calcium, their throat will be like a chicken. I have been to the maternal and child health hospital before. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: none. What kind of help do I want: Is it caused by calcium deficiency? How can it be confirmed? What kind of calcium should be taken?Doctor's answer:
The child currently frequently makes hoarse sounds, which should be due to poor development of the laryngeal cartilage and some calcium deficiency. It is recommended to give the child calcium supplements for treatment. Get more sun exposure, and the child needs to take one fish oil capsule daily, which may be difficult to tolerate. Administer calcium to the child for two consecutive weeks, and ensure a diverse diet in supplementary feeding. The above suggestions are for the question "How to deal with my baby's hoarse voice at one week?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
