Possibly some postnasal drip leading to hoarseness. Watchful waiting is fine unless there is accompanying difficulty breathing, fever, lethargy, or inability to eat/drink

There are many possible causes for a raspy voice in a 1 year old....most likely is just a cold or with no other symptoms if they have been crying or yelling, just a raspy voice. However, if it gets worse, or your child has other symptoms, it may be worth seeing your child's doctor and/or getting a COVID-19 test just to be sure.
