Hi thanks for posting on hcm.
Sorry to hear about your son problem usually there is no relation between adenoids and stammering
I would recommend you to consukt a speech therapist to rectify the problem usually childre5 do have speech problems knowing your son age would be more appropriate, try to find out when he is stammering like any pressure or is it lack of confidence this would help rectify the problem.
Hope tthis is helpful to you.
Regards
