My baby has a hoarse voice. Is this a symptom of teething?

Hello, my 4 month old baby is teething. Since 3 days she has a very different voice, it is very hoarse. She doesn't have a fever and is still full of energy and good mood. Should I go and consult with her? Thank you

Hello,

Teething does not usually cause a change in voice. However, the child sometimes tends to produce a lot of saliva that collects in the throat and could create a hoarse voice

I still encourage you to look inside the throat and mouth for white patches or ulcers. If there aren't and your child is in good condition, there doesn't seem to be any reason to see a doctor.

J'ai gradué de l'Université Laval en 2015. J'ai choisi le métier de pharmacienne car je suis une personne qui aime les défis et être challengée. Je vois dans l'initiative ''Question pour un pharmacien'' un moyen supplémentaire d'aider les gens et de combattre la désinformation sur internet. Les pharmaciens sont des personnes engagées ayant la santé de leurs patients à cœur. Il ne suffit parfois que de demander. Ainsi, n'hésitez-pas à poser vos questions ou à venir en personne à ma pharmacie. Au plaisir !
