What is the problem with the baby's hoarse voice? What should I do?

On weekdays, if parents find that their baby's voice has symptoms of hoarseness, they should find out the corresponding reasons. So, what is going on when your baby has a hoarse voice?

What causes my baby's hoarse voice?

Children are in the developmental stage, their vocal organs are not very mature, and they are more easily excited. They shout when they are happy and cry loudly when they are unhappy. This can easily cause swelling and inflammation of the vocal cords. The inflamed vocal cords become congested with a lot of blood, causing the local membrane to thicken. The uneven membrane cannot close, causing the voice to become hoarse or lost.

When the seasons change, if the baby catches a cold or is attacked by a virus, his throat will become inflamed. Generally speaking, a week or so of hoarseness from crying is not a big problem. However, if this condition continues, it will cause pharyngitis or even diseases such as vocal cord nodules.

What should I do if my baby has a hoarse voice?

1. Stay hydrated

It is recommended that parents should pay attention to letting their babies drink more boiled water to replenish body water, and reduce contact with cold food and spicy and irritating food.

2. Emotional stability

Generally speaking, the baby's body is in the development stage, and the vocal organs are not yet mature. In addition, the baby is easily excited and likes to shout loudly. When he is happy, he shouts to express his excitement. When he cries, he also cries loudly. These behaviors can easily cause swelling and inflammation of the vocal cords, so the baby is prone to hoarseness and sore throat.

When the vocal cords become inflamed, a large amount of congestion will cause the local membrane to thicken. The membrane is uneven and cannot close, making the voice hoarse or even lost.

3. Drug treatment

Babies have relatively low resistance and are easily invaded by bacteria, especially when seasons change and the weather changes drastically. They are prone to catching colds. Viruses can make babies sick and cause sore throats. Laryngitis is also one of the factors that cause hoarseness and sore throat in babies.
