Question

The child’s voice has started to sound sharp after an illness. What’s going on?

Answer

A child’s voice becoming sharp can be a normal physiological phenomenon, especially during the voice change period. During this period, the vocal cords thin out, leading to a sharp-sounding voice. However, not all children’s voices become sharp, as each person has a different vocal cord structure. If the child has not yet entered the voice change period, there is no need for concern; just wait for the body to develop naturally. Generally, male adolescents will start to change their voices during middle school, and their voices will no longer be sharp.
