Can A Fall Cause Voice Hoarseness?
My three year old son (39 inches 35 pounds no medical history that needs to be noted), fell down about five to six stairs quite a bit earlier in the day. I called the doctor but because he was not exhibiting any symptoms of a severe injury they said just to watch him for signs throughout the night. He has had no signs since that they mentioned, however, he has suddenly became hoarse so I was concerned if that could be due to the fall or if he just coincidentally got hoarse?
