Depends on cause: Voice quality can be genetic, but structural causes can be addressed with ENT evaluation and/or lifestyle changes. Smoking, acid reflux, chronic cough, polyps, vocal cord paralysis and many other ailments can cause vocal cord irritation and voice changes.

Discuss neurosurgery: Do not stop taking your medications until advised by your neurologist/seizure specialist.. Ask your neurologist to discuss stereotactic evaluation at a neurosurgical center performing these tests as well as treatments. You may or may not be a candidate. Good luck.

Therapy: You must be very patient and seek the help of a child psychiatrist and a therapist, avoid situations where he might feel uncomfortable or "closed in". Do not avoid the issue, but help him confront it with the help of professionals . Also make sure the adults around him do not project behaviors that the child will pick up on.

How do I get rid of excessive blushing? I blush so often that I've begun to exclude myself from situations that require me to communicate with people .

Excessive blushing: People normally blush when they get excited, angry or embarrassed. Blushing can be triggered by scpicy foods, alcohol or hot temperature. Excessive blushing, however, can be due to social anxiety or panic disorder. Or medical conditions such as carcinoid syndrome, rosacea, or systemic mastocytosis can cause blushing. If you know the triggers such as foods, avoid them. I suggest you see a doctor.

Cause?: This would depend on the cause. Cigarette smoker? Reflux? Voice abuse? Other causes for vocal cord nodules? Please discuss with your doctor. You may need to be evaluated for your voice changes if they're recent and since chronic.
