Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. The larynx, which is located in the throat, plays the major role in creating the sound of the voice. Everyone's timetable is different, so some boys' voices might start to change earlier and some might start a little later. A boy's voice typically begins to change between ages 11 and 14½, usually just after the major growth spurt. Some boys' voices might change gradually, whereas others' might change quickly.

Therefore, your child's present hoarseness may not be attributable to growth. Could be related to some sort of vocal chord or larynx problem. Consult child specialist for investigation and more insight.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck. Take care.
