How to handle unclear speech

Patient's question:

Please ask if my child is four years old and still can't speak clearly, only knowing to say a single word. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

A four-year-old child still has unclear speech, which may be caused by conditions such as a short frenulum, abnormal vocal cord development, or developmental disorders of the language center. It is important to have an early check-up and treatment to avoid affecting future language expression abilities.
Advice: Currently, it is best to immediately go to a children's hospital to check the frenulum and vocal cords, and undergo surgery or rehabilitation treatment if necessary. A short frenulum is a minor procedure, while other issues may be more complex.
