The most common disease that babies are prone to when they are young is colds and fever, which is mostly caused by bacterial infections leading to tonsillitis and fever. During this period, throat inflammation can make the child's throat hoarse. So what should a two-year-old baby do if their throat becomes hoarse? Next, let me give you a brief introduction.
What should I do if my 2-year-old baby has a hoarse voice
If the baby has a cold: If the baby has a cold, such as hoarse throat, runny nose, sneezing, or fever, it is caused by a cold. At this time, parents need to use medication to help the baby treat it. Choose specialized baby medication and also give the baby some vitamin C to enhance their physical fitness. I believe they will recover soon.
Parents or themselves can help their children lower their body temperature by diluting alcohol and water in a ratio of 1:5, and using a small handkerchief to help the baby wipe their body. This is also a good way to reduce fever, but medication is still necessary for treatment.
If the baby is overheated and lacks water: At this time, the baby will not show symptoms of a cold, usually just a hoarse voice. Therefore, mothers need to pay attention to the baby at all times and can make warm water tea with chrysanthemum or honeysuckle for the baby to drink.
Then there is a small folk remedy that can treat a baby's hoarseness. The method is to prepare white radish, then use a blender to extract the juice, add some white sugar to it, and boil it in a pot. This method is very good.
Parents should pay attention to their babies' diet during this period. They should give their babies less cold food and avoid giving them spicy food, which can worsen their hoarseness.
The last thing parents need to do is to let their babies sleep regularly, while also suppressing their loud noises. If the baby cries, they should be picked up and comforted in a timely manner.
The reason why the baby's voice is hoarse
Children are in the developmental stage, and their vocal organs are not very mature. Coupled with emotions, they are more prone to excitement, shouting loudly when they are happy and crying loudly when they are unhappy, which can easily cause swelling and inflammation of the vocal cords. The inflamed vocal cords become heavily congested, causing local thin films to thicken and unevenly close, resulting in hoarseness or loss of voice.
The change of seasons means that once a baby gets cold and the virus invades, their throat will become inflamed. Generally speaking, the problem of crying and hoarseness for about a week is not significant. If this state persists, it can lead to pharyngitis and even diseases such as vocal nodules.
The above is a brief introduction about what to do if a two-year-old baby has a hoarse voice and the reasons for it. So when a child's throat becomes hoarse, parents can prepare some cool and cooling foods for the child to eat, drink plenty of water, and use other physical methods depending on the situation, after all, the baby's body needs to be taken care of by parents.
