Patient's question:
The child's speech is unclear. My child had jaundice at birth, is this related?Medical history and treatment effectiveness:
I have seen a doctor before, and they said it's not a tongue problem.
What kind of help do you need:
Should my child be treated? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Children's speech is generally unrelated to the frenulum of the tongue. Next, the brain's speech center (language) is usually not damaged, so it should be a problem with the tongue. I don't know if you are going to a specialized hospital. However, if the child is over three years old, they have missed the best time for speech development. It is still recommended that you go to the provincial children's hospital for a check-up, register with the department of ophthalmology and otolaryngology, and if there are no issues, it's okay. Anyway, the earlier it is discovered, the better.
