What Causes My Kid To Loose Her Voice?
Hi Doctor, my 2 years 10 months old baby girl, woke up from afternoon nap and suddenly start loosing her voice. It has been 2 days now. She did not cough, no temperature nor cold or flu. Despite her losing her voice for the past two days, she is still a very active girl. She eats, play and sleep well. I have been giving her honey lemon drink. What are the other medicine that I can give her? I am concern and worry because I do not know what to do. Please advice. Thank you!

Hi,
Noted the history about your 2 ear 10 month old daughter loosing voice all of a sudden for the last 2 days. Is not this a serious concern?
Hence I would advise you the following in such a situation: Rush to the ENT Surgeon, Pediatrician and a Neurologist for complete evaluation, examination and investigations as follows:
* DL that is direct laryngoscopy to see for the vocal cords, any polypi and so on, movements of the vocal cords.
* Neurologist to see for any neurological deficit.
* MRI of the brain may be needed.
* Psychological evaluation also a part of knowing the exact cause.
All these will lead to a proper diagnosis and thus allow a proper management.
I hope this answer helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant
