Patient's question:
Symptom Description: My baby is almost 8 months old. He had 3 episodes of hoarseness when he was 5, 6, and 7 months old. After giving him some cold medicine, it improved, but it has occurred again now. I don't know what's going on?Past Treatment and Effect: He has taken cold medicine at home.
Help Needed: Please have the doctor analyze what might be happening.
Doctor's answer:
A foreign body sensation, accompanied by coughing, easy fatigue of the voice, or a tendency to eat before bed, or frequent acid reflux, belching, or it could also be reflux laryngitis, but some patients with reflux laryngitis may only have one symptom. Additionally, trauma, including dislocation of the cricoarytenoid joint, and physical or chemical damage to the larynx can also cause hoarseness.What could be the reason for a child's prolonged hoarseness? It may also be caused by chronic pharyngitis. You must drink a lot of water to ensure that dehydration does not occur in your body. You can also take some Golden throat tablets, which have a very good effect in relieving hoarseness. Daily, you should avoid loud shouting and noisy chasing.
