Patient's question:
The child at home is just five years old. When speaking, they have very severe stuttering, and it's basically impossible to understand them. How should stuttering be treated? Is there any special medication to treat it?Doctor's answer:
Currently, there is no specific medication for treating stuttering, and surgical treatment also does not yield significant results. Generally, stuttering is corrected through the patient's postnatal exercises, which requires great perseverance. People with stuttering often lack flexibility in their tongues, and they need to find ways to improve the flexibility of their tongues to solve the problem of stuttering. Cultivating a child's healthy personality, such as an outgoing, bold, and confident child, even if they experience stuttering, can usually improve more quickly because their attention is not focused on internal feelings. Conversely, sensitive, timid, impatient, and withdrawn children may develop secondary stuttering.
