Patient's question:
A newborn baby's voice is hoarseWhat is the reason for a newborn baby's hoarse voice?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if a 7-day-old baby has a hoarse voice, the first thing to know is whether the child has been crying loudly recently. If it is caused by overuse of the voice and is not accompanied by difficulty breathing, you can wait and see. If the child, in addition to hoarseness, also has a barking cough and difficulty breathing, it is necessary to be alert to the occurrence of acute laryngitis. In this case, it is essential to go to the hospital for medical attention promptly.
