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 it's because of his unclear speech that he's a bit slow. Sometimes his eyes look a bit vacant.

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: Hello, this should be considered as intellectual development delay. Based on your description, this is the condition we are considering. How was the child born? Vaginal birth or cesarean section? Was there a history of hypoxia and asphyxia? Were there any diagnoses of hydrocephalus or similar 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.
