At one year and eight months, if the child still cannot speak, what should be done?

Patient's question:

The child has only been born for a few days, and recently doesn't know why they keep scratching their ears. How should I handle it if they are still not speaking at 1 year and 8 months?

Doctor's answer:

The development of language is not balanced for every child, especially boys. Some children may not start speaking until they are four years old. Don't hurry. As long as he can understand what is said, it means his listening comprehension ability and intelligence are not a problem. Hearing impairment in children can cause significant harm to the patient. It is recommended that the patient seek timely treatment at a specialized hospital under the guidance of a doctor. Daily exercise is appropriate, but be careful to prevent overheating. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
