Suggest Remedy For Change In Voice After A Tantrum Episode
Hello. Yesterday my 16 month old son had a tantrum. I took something away from him and he screamed and cried for a few minutes and shortly fell asleep. Later that evening he started sounding hoarse. Had a honking like cough. We have been using vapor rub, motrin, steam shower, lots of warm drinks. He has had a little mucus come up He still sounds hoarse. He is eating again and drinking fine. He has a cough but not like it was yesterday.
Hi...I feel this change in voice or hoarseness is due to overuse of the larynx and it is causing laryngitis or mildly swollen vocal cords and this is the reason for this hoarseness. The best treatment for this is voice rest which is not possible in this age group. Vapor rub, motrin, steam shower, warm drinks are not going to help. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
