Doctor's answer:

Hello, this age is a bit late, which is likely due to individual developmental differences. Generally, there is no need to worry.
Child health issues have always troubled parents. When treating this condition, consider adopting general treatment methods. Only by using professional approaches can parents help children recover from the illness as soon as possible, ensuring it does not affect their growth and development. Therefore, it is essential for parents to act quickly to help children cure their illnesses after they fall ill.
