Do babies get sore throat from crying?

260 views

I was thinking of how I had a sore throat from talking too much on a train ride when I was 6 years old. It was so terrible that I couldn’t speak for a few hours. It made me wonder if babies ever got sore throats from wailing loudly, which they do all the time.

They can get sore throat but it takes a lot. The key is in breath support, a baby is using basically their whole body to cry, pushing air with their diaphragm just like a trained singer would, this alleviates strain from the vocal chords, and strained and swollen vocal chords are what causes you to lose your voice.
