Is it normal for a three-year-old and ten-month-old to be able to say only five or six words?

Patient's question:

A 3-year-old and 10-month-old boy can only speak five or six words at most, but he can understand most instructions and knows everything; he just has difficulty expressing himself. Is he developmentally delayed? Could there be any medication that can help treat this?

Doctor's answer:

According to the description of the child's condition, a 3-year-old baby in October can only say a maximum of 5.6 words. It is understandable that poor expression of instructions may lead to language disorders in the child, and it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for examination. The suggestions include reasonable feeding, more sun exposure, supplementing with VA drops, regularly monitoring the child's growth and development, more communication with the child, and more participation in collective activities with the child.
