Dysphonia in children can arise from a variety of causes, including:
Vocal cord nodules: These are benign growths on the vocal cords often caused by vocal overuse or misuse. Laryngitis: Inflammation of the larynx can lead to temporary changes in voice quality. Vocal cord paralysis: This can occur due to nerve damage or congenital issues. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Acid reflux can irritate the vocal cords and larynx. Respiratory infections: Common colds or flu can impact vocal quality. Allergies: Allergic reactions can cause inflammation and irritation in the throat.
