Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child has voice hoarseness along with no fever or cough is mainly due to over of the voice either in shouting or any other activity which leads to swelling or growths on the vocal cords. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to give your voice some rest which will give time to heal vocal cords. Give steam inhalation to your child . Sip warm water every day. Visit pediatrician once and get laryngoscopy done ,complete blood picture to rule out infections, x-ray chest to see lung related causes. Start treatment once proper diagnosis is made.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
