What Causes Hoarse Voice In A Child With Sinus Infection?
My son is a month old and I was told to do saline drops in his nose to clear up a small sinus infection. I started them yesterday and now he seems as though he is hoarse when he cries. He doesn t seem to have a fever but he is more tired and only drinking about 2 oz which is usually 4. Should I go to the doctor or is it nothing to worry about.

Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query hoarse voice in a child with sinus infection means suffering from condition known as pharyngitis. I would suggest you to -
- Use mist humidifiers in room.
- Give child steam inhalation.
- Put nasal decongestant sprays like Xylometazoline for opening of sinuses.
Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. Go for paranasal sinus X ray and start proper course of antibiotics after thorough examination.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
