Question

The child has been crying and whining a lot recently, showing a lack of appetite, and also speaks with some difficulty. What should be done for treatment?

Answer

Current treatment for stuttering focuses mainly on non-pharmaceutical therapies, including speech training, psychological therapy, biofeedback rhythm devices, changing the way of voicing, delayed auditory feedback method, and sound masking technique. For children with stuttering, non-pharmaceutical treatment is generally the first choice. Parents should adopt professional methods to help the child recover from the disease as soon as possible and avoid any impact on their growth and development. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the child’s condition and take them to see a doctor for timely treatment.
