Patient's question:
My baby is 11 months old and has had a hoarse voice for a month. A few days ago, he had a fever of 39 degrees for four days, but he is already better today. The doctor said it was caused by tonsillitis. Recently, my baby bit and broke the screen protector of his phone, and I was afraid it might get stuck in his throat. Sometimes he also scratches his neck. How can I tell if it's tonsillitis or if there's something stuck in his throat? What kind of detailed examination should be done?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is recommended to have the 11-year-old child undergo a thorough examination with a laryngoscope to diagnose the condition. If you are still not confident, it is advisable to have a detailed check with a laryngoscope. This is generally considered to be symptoms of acute pharyngitis and acute tonsillitis.The above is the advice for the question "My baby is 11 months old and has a hoarse voice, is that a problem?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
