A 4.5-year-old boy with unclear speech and slow reaction.

Patient's question:

My son's speech isn't very clear sometimes, and he can't follow up on one sentence with the next, feeling much worse than his peers. I wonder if his unclear speech is a bit slow-witted. Sometimes his eyes look a bit vacant.

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: Hello, this should be considered as a case of intellectual development delay. Based on your description, this is the diagnosis. How was the child born? Vaginal birth or cesarean section? Was there a history of hypoxia and asphyxia? Also, was there a diagnosis of hydrocephalus or other symptoms in childhood?
Recommendations: Hello, it is recommended that you take the child to see a pediatric neurology department. If necessary, a brain CT or MRI can be performed for the child. If the results are not satisfactory, you can also consult a traditional Chinese medicine department.
