Patient's question:
My son was still able to say "Dad, Mom" at one year old, though his speech wasn't very clear. But when he was about to turn two, we had a "tongue-tie" surgery at the children's hospital. Now he's two years old and usually says "Brother, ouch" when he's happy. But when you teach him to say it, he seems not to hear you.Doctor's answer:
A two-year-old child still cannot speak and language development disorders need to be considered. For such a child, you need to go to the hospital for further examination to clarify the cause. It is necessary to pay attention to whether the child's other development is within the normal range. If there are abnormalities in motor development and intellectual development, it is highly suspected that the child has poor right brain development, and a head CT or MRI examination is required. It must also be considered whether the child has psychological or behavioral problems, such as autism.
