Why does my child’s throat always have a hoarse sound?

Some mothers may find that their children have some minor problems at a certain stage, such as their throats always making some noises and clearing their throats frequently. In fact, these are some common but abnormal phenomena. Moms, do you know why children always clear their throats? What harm will this phenomenon cause to children? It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, the editor will explain them to you one by one.

If a child always clears his throat, it is a symptom of vocal tics and is most likely caused by tics. Vocal tics are also divided into simple vocal tics and complex vocal tics. Simple vocal tics manifest as rapid, meaningless, monotonous repetitions, such as constant throat clearing, coughing, humming, roaring, grunting, screaming, etc.

Complex vocal tics produce some seemingly meaningful short sentences, or more complex sentences. Some also manifest as repetitive, stereotyped complete sentences, such as certain word sounds, imitative speech, and repeated speech. However, those who manifest as coarse speech are mostly adults, and children are rare. Vocal tics are generally characterized by slurred speech, nasal sounds, delayed speech, and uneven pitch. This phenomenon has serious hazards:

1. Seriously affects personality development

Younger children lack the ability to evaluate themselves independently, and this self-evaluation mostly comes from outsiders, such as teachers, peers and parents. During this period, positive or negative evaluations from the outside world will have an important impact on children's self-awareness and personality formation. If children are often scolded by their parents, criticized by their teachers, and ridiculed by their classmates during this stage, it will cause great harm to their mental and physical development.

2. Leading to social withdrawal and social disorders

If the child does not receive timely and effective treatment, it will seriously affect his interaction with classmates, causing inferiority complex, social withdrawal, social disorders, and behavioral and disciplinary problems, which will seriously affect his social interaction and interpersonal relationships.

Well, I believe everyone has understood the reasons and dangers of children always grunting. If mothers find that their children have such problems, they must take their children to the hospital for examination in time and cooperate with the doctor's treatment. If this phenomenon in children is caused by tics, it will cause serious harm to the child, so it must be treated early.
