A. Hello ma’am Are you giving too much of screen time to your child specifically mobile or a tab then that could be one reason other than that sometimes kids can have this issue where the vocal glands are not develop properly with age so in that case if you wish to you can go for a homoeopathic treatment as it really helps a lot otherwise you can consult a speech therapist as well
