How to deal with a baby's dry and hoarse throat

Patient's question:

The child cried a few times at 33 days, and their throat became hoarse and dry. Eating, sleeping, and drinking were normal. At 34 days, their voice also became somewhat hoarse, and the milk they spit up sometimes seemed to contain mucus, sometimes water, and sometimes white substances. They snored while sleeping and occasionally coughed a few times. Sometimes they also felt nauseous.

Doctor's answer:

The reasons for hoarseness are generally acute laryngitis caused by external pathogens, vocal cord polyps, vocal cord nodules, vocal cord paralysis, etc. The baby may have developed a respiratory infection again, which is the main cause of vocal cord edema. It is recommended to take the child to a local hospital for diagnosis by a doctor. If necessary, a chest X-ray can be taken to rule out lung infection. After all, for young infants and toddlers, the condition can progress rapidly.
