Question
The child was speaking normally before the age of three, but several months ago, they began to stutter when speaking. Some people say this is a normal phenomenon in some young children, but correcting it makes the situation worse. What’s going on?
Answer
Stuttering is more common in early childhood and is also one of the easiest phenomena to correct at this stage. If it is not corrected in the early years of a child, it may sometimes be related to daily life. Medications can include small doses of 5-10mg of olfactory or lemon bitters, taken once or twice a day to reduce muscle and respiratory tension, and enhance training effectiveness. However, it should be used under a doctor’s guidance. For children who stutter, in addition to strengthening training, acupuncture treatment can also be combined.
