How long shall we rest voice of 5 year old boy to treat hoarseness from one month ago and he get steroid for one week and it is still persist ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hoarseness : It is very difficult to to make a 5 yr old to rest his voice, teach him to speak softly, indicate needs by pointing or body language, warm fluids should help, if no improvement you should consult an ENT who might need to do laryngoscopy to visualize the vocal cords & diagnose the cause of hoarseness in you son. Good luck, I hope he gets better soon.
