    UCLA Health answered:

    You should notify your child's doctor if your infant's cry sounds hoarse. A hoarse cry could be a sign of congenital hypothyroidism. Your doctor will likely perform a physical exam and a blood test to see if your child has congenital hypothyroidism. If you begin treatment early, your child can avoid complications of the disease.
