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 thumb. 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 is that the child's speech development is slow. Development of children with mild intellectual disability. The age at which he started speaking was 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 if there is a possibility of congenital diseases (such as cerebral palsy). And check if 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.
