Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago, and recently they have been scratching their ears for some reason. I was wondering why a one-year-old baby's voice is hoarse.Doctor's answer:
The consideration you described is tonsillitis, which falls under upper respiratory tract infections. Treatment primarily involves antibiotics, and intravenous medication can be considered. Alternatively, you can steep three to five honeysuckle fruits in water to drink, which is quite effective. Your condition may be chronic rhinitis, which is a chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa and the underlying layer. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is referred to as biyuan and can be treated with Cang'erzi San or other herbal remedies.
