[Phoniatric record during voice rehabilitation for kissing nodules in a child]

Dysphonia in the child occurs relatively frequently. More often than not it is the result of strain, but a phoniatric examination is worthwhile to determine whether or not vocal rehabilitation is required, the purpose being to make the child aware of the vocal gesture and correct his or her vocal attitude. A phoniatric follow-up can sometimes determine the need for surgery when the nodules hinder the vocal development of a young singer.
