Suggest Remedies For Loss Of Voice In Baby After BCG Injection
Hi, My 6 week old baby had his BCG jab today and ever since it sounds like he is losing his voice. He is very colicky and usually has a high pitched cry/scream but now its quite dull and faded compared with before what could this be and can i do anything about it?

Hello
There is absolutely no association of BCG with loss of voice.May be he was crying and crying after the injection due to pain and it has caused hoarseness due to excessive cry or may be he was already running a sorethroat,could be viral.
I would recommend to give 1 teaspoon honey in one ounce of luke warm water daily for 2-3 days. It has a soothing effect on throat.
And please stop worrying,stay calm :-)
hope it will help.
