Why do newborn babies get hoarse later?

Patient's question:

When the baby was just born, everything was fine. At two months old, she caught a cold and developed pneumonia, so she had to be hospitalized. She stayed in the hospital for two or three days and then went home. Her throat was still okay then. After four months, her throat started to gradually lose its voice. Sometimes when she cried, barely a little sound could be heard.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description of the issue, the baby was doing well right after birth. Now at 2 months old, they caught a cold and developed pneumonia, which required hospital treatment and has now been resolved. At 4 months, the baby's voice gradually became hoarse, and sometimes they could barely hear a little sound. It is recommended that you take the baby to the hospital's Otolaryngology department for a thorough examination. If the baby experiences hoarseness and coughing symptoms again, it may be laryngitis. Based on the results, medication should be administered. Laryngitis can be treated with a nebulizer to alleviate the symptoms.
