[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your baby have symptoms of throat infection which is leading to scratchy voice as well seems to be due to sore throat due to bacterial or viral infection. It is leading to upper respiratory tract infection. Need not worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Take ibuprofen one tablet twice daily. Milk boiled with a pinch of turmeric taken at bedtime for can be relieving as it has antimicrobial properties. You should avoid spicy food. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Throat lozenges one every 4 hours is helpful.  Chat Doctor.  Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
