Why Do I Still Sound Like A 15-year-old Even At The Age Of 24?
Doctor, I m 24 years old and my voice sounds like that of a 15-year-old boy. I m concerned because it s affecting my confidence and ability to communicate effectively. I would like to know if there s a medical reason for this and what can be done to address it.

Hello,
Stay away from stress both emotional or physical. Do neck exercises for strengthening the muscles around the neck area. You are advised to get clinically examined by an ENT and get all required tests and investigations done to detect any underlying medical condition or structural abnormalities that is causing your voice to sound like a 15 yr old. Get connected to a speech therapist. You will be given indirect and direct speech therapy ant treatment for puberphonia. Counselling will be given.
You will be made to do speech therapy inhalation and exhalation exercises 2-3 times a day to relieve any congestion in the throat. If needed surgical treatment will be recommended by the treating doctor. Surgical treatment correction needs a long term follow up. You will have to be patient. You may require treatment by uvula manipulation and resonance.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
