Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if the child cannot speak but can address others, it is a normal phenomenon and there is no problem. It is important to teach the child more in daily life. Additionally, when family members speak, it is best to use Mandarin as much as possible, as this will help the child learn better. Check for any conditions such as a short frenulum that may affect the child's speech. Encourage the child to interact more with peers and continue observing. It is also recommended to have the child examined at the hospital for any issues with the frenulum. If there is a problem, it can be corrected with a minor surgical procedure in the dental department. If the issue is not related to the frenulum, a head CT scan should be performed to check the brain's development. If the scan is normal, then the child's development will rely entirely on postnatal training.
