Hi,

Hoarseness of voice or Cough and cold in infants are mostly due to viral infections of pharynx,sinus,larynx, epiglottis, bronchi.

Some times it could be due to bacterial infection.Upper respiratory infection could also occur because of acid reflux.

Infants are not able to expel out the sputum or mucus as adults can do.So,they should be given proper dosage of drugs and keep them warm by covering the body with baby towels or blankets.

You may go for routine blood count,ESR to rule out any infection.

The baby will require antibiotics (quinolones or macrolides) to prevent superinfection with analgesics and antiinflammatories,antihistamines with other supportive treatment in proper dosage.

Consult your paediatrician for further advise.
