Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old and still cannot respond. He can only say simple words like "Mom" and "Brother." He had difficulty breathing at birth, and the early symptoms of infantile cerebral palsy include not being able to walk?Doctor's answer:
The phenomenon of a 1.5-year-old child not being able to respond to questions requires more teaching for the child. Additionally, boys tend to develop language skills later. It is also important to carefully check if the child has a short lingual frenulum, which needs to be treated. Children who start practicing responding to questions only after the age of two should be taught to respond using Mandarin rather than dialects. Please pay close attention. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to ensure targeted treatment and rapid recovery.
