Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Possible causes of sudden stuttering in children include:
1. Stuttering may result from stomatitis, oral diseases, or oral injuries, all of which can alter the structure of the mouth and affect its function, thereby interfering with speech production and leading to stuttering.
2. Stuttering might be triggered by emotional factors such as tension, fear, or anxiety, or it could be caused by neurological disorders.
3. It may also occur after consuming certain irritating foods; if stuttering persists, it could be due to deficiencies in vitamins or minerals.
