Patient's question:
Symptom Description: My baby is almost 8 months old. He had 3 episodes of hoarseness during the 5th, 6th, and 7th months. After giving him some cold medicine, it improved, but it has now occurred again. I don't know what's wrong.History of Treatment and Effect: He has taken cold medicine at home.
Help Needed: Please have the doctor analyze what might be causing this.
Doctor's answer:
A foreign body sensation, accompanied by coughing, easy fatigue of the voice, or a preference for eating before bed, or frequent occurrences of acid reflux, belching, or possibly laryngopharyngeal reflux. However, some patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux may only experience 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 our bodies. You can also take Jin Yongzi throat drops, which have a very good effect in alleviating hoarseness. Daily, you must avoid loud shouting and noisy chasing.
