A member asked:

Will continuous crying make cold or throat worse for the baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: The crying can exhaust baby & lead to vocal cord swelling & laryngitis but by itself doesn't alter a cold. Another issue might be why baby is crying continuously. Colds can precede an ear infection & other things may be going on. Might be worth a visit to babies dr.
