What should I do if my two weeks and eight months old baby cannot speak?

Patient's question:

Two weeks ago, I had an electromyography, CT scan, and blood tests done in Jinan, and all the results were normal, but I still can't speak; I'm very anxious. In the situation mentioned above, is it necessary for me to go to Beijing Children's Hospital for another check-up?

Doctor's answer:

Normal children at the age of language learning can master a large amount of vocabulary in a year, especially between the ages of 3 and 5, where vocabulary increases geometrically. However, children with slow language development may only acquire four or five words in a year, which requires a great deal of effort. Children with poor brain development or intellectual disabilities can benefit from traditional Chinese medicine to promote brain development. It is no longer time to wait; these years of not treating children have delayed their school enrollment. Children must return to normal before the age of seven, and treatment also requires time.
