Patient's question:
The child is now three years and three months old and cannot express himself like other children. He only speaks single words. For example, when eating, he says "eat," and when drinking, he says "drink." However, his personality is not introverted. I would like to consult whether there are any relevant tests that need to be done.Doctor's answer:
The child's intelligence may be abnormal. If this problem reoccurs, it can be due to abnormalities in the vocal cords, such as a short frenulum of the tongue, which affect normal pronunciation. If the child's speech difficulties are caused by central nervous system disorders, it is recommended to seek follow-up care in pediatrics. There are many such pathological conditions, most of which involve abnormalities in the vocal cords or the frenulum of the tongue. Some can heal on their own, and with subsequent language training, they can fully recover to normal levels.
