When a baby is over a year old, their resistance may still be relatively low and they are prone to various illnesses, such as hoarseness. Once the baby experiences these abnormal situations, parents do not know how to deal with them in order to alleviate the discomfort of the baby. So, what if a one and a half year old baby has a hoarse voice?
Firstly, for a one and a half year old baby, if they find that their throat is hoarse, it is usually caused by internal heat. Give the baby more water to drink to alleviate the dryness of their throat. In addition, you can make some rock sugar stewed pears for your baby, which is more effective in relieving dryness and dullness, and can also moisturize the lungs. During this period, give the baby a light and diluted diet to help them digest better.
Secondly, a one and a half year old baby who is already able to eat complementary foods may experience inflammation due to improper diet. Therefore, when parents feed their babies, they should try to choose foods that are easy to chew and easy to digest. When making food for babies, do not add seasonings inside. A one and a half year old baby does not need to add salt, sugar, or other seasonings, as they are not good for development.
In addition, if a one and a half year old baby continues to have hoarseness and is also accompanied by a cold and fever, targeted treatment is needed, and appropriate medication suitable for the baby should be taken to relieve the symptoms. If you are concerned about the side effects of medication, you can give your baby some traditional Chinese medicine under the guidance of a doctor, which can also have good therapeutic effects.
