Patient's question:
The child's speech is unclear. My child had jaundice at birth, is this related? Treatment history and effectiveness: I have seen a doctor before, and they said it's not a tongue problem. What kind of help do I need: Should my child be treated? Thank youDoctor's answer:
Children's speech is generally not related 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. It is also unknown whether you are going to a specialized hospital. However, if the child is over three years old, they may have missed the best time for speech development. It is still recommended that you visit the provincial children's hospital and see an ophthalmologist/otolaryngologist. If there are no issues, it's fine. Anyway, the earlier it is discovered, the better.
