Suggest Treatment For Cough, Breathing Difficulty And Hoarseness In A Child

My 11 month old has a horse voice. He is waking up 2x per night crying and sitting up in his crib as if lying down is uncomfortable for his breathing. There is another baby staying w us that has a terríble cough which is when he got worse. My son has no fever, cough and is great during the day. Any ideas? Does he need a nebulizer?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query . As per your query you have cough, breathing difficulty and hoarseness in a child. It seems to me that your child suffering from upper respiratory tract infection (include laryngitis which is reason for voice loss) from very long time . Sometimes during infection when we sneeze or through mucus forcefully through nose mucus goes into Eustachian tube and give feeling of clogged ear. So i would suggest you to consult pediatrician without any delay for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may order blood test for infection and throat swab test , because yellow mucus is sign of bacterial infection. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , decongestants and mucolytic agent for thinning of mucus so that it can easily come out of eustachian tube .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
