Patient's question:
In mid-August, I took my child to the beach. I didn't apply sunscreen on my child, and they also didn't wear a sun protective shirt. After coming back, my child seemed to have a sunburn allergy. My child is naturally prone to allergies. They started itching, their eyes swelled, and they also started sneezing and having a runny nose. Then, they began to stutter. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
First, we must eliminate the disappointment and discriminatory attitudes of parents. We must remind children to speak slowly. Do not criticize or punish them. To reduce their tension, enhance their self-confidence, reduce their fear of stuttering, and make them pay less attention to the process of their speech. Parents should talk to their children slowly and lightly, with more pauses, and let the child speak at their own pace. Give them enough patience and affirmation.
