POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy9 months agoA. It's not uncommon for newborns to experience some changes in their voice, and this could be related to a minor cold, especially since you mentioned that her nose isn't running. In newborns, a change in voice or a hoarse sound can sometimes happen due to:
1. Mucus in the throat: Even if her nose isn't running, there might still be some mucus in her throat or airways that is causing the change in voice.
2. Mild cold or congestion: Babies are very prone to catching mild colds, and their tiny airways can cause them to sound different when they have even a small amount of congestion.
3. Laryngomalacia: This is a condition where the cartilage in a baby’s throat is softer than normal, causing some noisy breathing or a change in their voice. It's usually harmless and resolves with time.
What to do:
1. Keep her well hydrated: Ensure that she is breastfeeding well, as breast milk helps to keep her throat moist and may help clear mucus.
2. Maintain humidity: A cool-mist humidifier in her room can help keep the airways clear and ease any congestion.
3. Monitor for other symptoms: If she starts showing more symptoms like a runny nose, fever, or difficulty breathing, it’s a good idea to consult her pediatrician.
4. Gentle suction: If you notice any mucus in her nose, you can use a nasal aspirator (bulb syringe) to gently clear it out.
If her voice continues to be hoarse or you’re concerned, it’s always a good idea to check with her pediatrician for reassurance.
