Patient's question:
My child is now 3 years old. Up to now, he still cannot speak. It takes him a long time to address others. However, his pronunciation is not very standard. Moreover, he almost doesn't understand things. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello! First, you should rule out whether it is a hearing issue. Next, check if the child is reluctant to play with other children and exhibits repetitive behaviors, which are symptoms of autism. If these can be ruled out, it might be a brain-related condition. In such cases, early comprehensive rehabilitation treatment should be initiated. The main therapies include acupuncture, massage, extracorporeal shockwave therapy, and ST therapy! Take the child to the hospital to check if the vocal cords are normal. If there are issues, seek surgical intervention promptly.
