[|Human|] hi. my baby is 11 weeks old. a few days ago he wouldnt feed and wouldn t respond to stimuli as he usually does, and the doctor said he was possibly cooking a virus. the doc also looked in his throat and eth was fine. a few hours later he fed well and seemed to be back to normal with only a little bit of a runny nose. yesterday i noticed his voice is hoarse. he doesn t cry a lot but when he gurgles or cries now, it is very hoarse...he is presenting no other symptoms except a bit of a runny nose, what is causing his hoarseness?
[|AI|]  Hi... please do not worry. By what you say I feel that your baby may have a mild viral laryngitis. The best treatment for this is voice rest which cannot be achieved at this young age and the babies cry a lot. This is a self limiting condition and does not require any medications at all. But I will let you know when you need to approach a Healthcare facility - 1. Fast breathing and respiratory distress.2. Inability to feed.3. Retractions in the chest wall.4. High grade fever.
