What causes a child's voice to become high-pitched

Patient's question:

The child got sick last week and after treatment, their physical condition improved. They have been having fevers every few days. The most recent time, they had a continuous high fever for three or four days. They received intravenous saline for several days before finally visiting a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to nourish their body. After taking traditional Chinese medicine for two days, the child's voice began to become sharp yesterday.
What kind of assistance is needed: Hello, I have a child who has started experiencing a sharp voice again after recovering from an illness. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

Now if a child is in the voice change period, it's very normal. Don't worry too much, it's nothing. For girls, their vocal cords become thinner and their voices become sharper, which is also very normal. However, not all girls' voices become sharper. Everyone's vocal cord structure is different. I don't know how old you are. Have you started changing your voice yet? If you haven't, just wait for it. As the body grows and develops, generally by middle school, boys will start to change their voices. The voice will no longer be sharp.
