Question
Can mild pediatric stuttering be corrected, and what should be done for severe cases?
Answer
Mild cases of pediatric stuttering can be attempted to be corrected through stuttering therapy, while severe cases may consider medication treatment, such as low doses of haloperidol. After one year of treatment, if there is no improvement or the effect diminishes, it may be necessary to seek professional speech training. Parents should encourage their children in daily life, avoid punishment or scolding, and slow down the pace of conversation when talking to them, and avoid interrupting them.
