How to handle a newborn's hoarse throat?

Patient's question:

The child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. How should I handle a hoarse throat in a newborn?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, this is generally caused by excessive crying in children, leading to vocal cord edema and inflammation. Active anti-inflammatory treatment is necessary to prevent respiratory suppression. Drink more water, and avoid letting the child cry anymore, otherwise it may lead to further worsening of edema and affect breathing. The child is affected by neonatal diseases, so the mother must take the child to the hospital for timely medical treatment to avoid blindly using medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to provide the child with enough care and attention, and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
