Patient's question:
Hello, my child is almost three years old, but he still cannot speak or walk. Why is that? Also, his back of the head is concave by about 5 millimeters, and he often likes to suck his fingers. When I talk to him, it seems like he doesn't understand very well. Are these problems related to his concave head?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Let the children speak late and guide them gradually. The initial estimate was that the child's speech development was slow, and the development of children with mild intellectual disability. He started speaking 1 to 3 years later than the normal age. The reasons are environmental and pathological factors. It is best to go to the hospital for a detailed examination to rule out abnormal brain development (or brain tissue compression). For example, check whether there is a possibility of congenital diseases (such as cerebral palsy). Also check whether the oral organs such as the tongue and lips are soft. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
