Patient's question:
I used to be slow in speaking, and now at 4 and a half, many of my words are not pronounced correctly. I have had my tongue tie checked, and it was normal. Is it necessary to seek hospital rehabilitation treatment for this condition?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your baby used to be slow to speak, and now there are still many sounds they cannot pronounce clearly. This situation is mainly considered to be caused by delayed language development. As long as the frenulum is not a problem, it is currently recommended to give your baby oral training and rehabilitation treatment, as well as language and cognitive therapy, and to have regular follow-up evaluations. Some children speak slowly, and family members can pay attention to guiding and exercising them. If you are not sure, you can consult the local hospital to see if rehabilitation treatment is necessary during daily life. Pay attention to keeping warm, avoiding cold, exercising appropriately to enhance physical fitness, maintaining a balanced diet, not being picky about food, and paying attention to the weather. On sunny days, we should get more sun and eat more foods rich in calcium.
