Patient's question:
My daughter is four and a half years old, but she still never speaks a complete sentence. She only knows how to say "daddy" and "mummy," as well as the names of her sister, brother, and grandmother. Last summer, she finally learned to walk, but she could only walk on flat surfaces. If the ground was even slightly uneven, she would fall down. Even on low steps, she couldn't climb them herself.Doctor's answer:
Intelligence is primarily influenced by hereditary factors and postnatal environmental impacts. At the age of 4, a child is in a critical developmental stage, requiring certain space. It is recommended to seek a follow-up consultation in the pediatric department of a Class III hospital. Improve the configuration and conduct thorough examinations, such as blood tests, ultrasound, and cranial MRI. Actively cooperate with treatment and maintain a positive mindset.When a patient faces the challenges of intellectual disability, we should take proactive measures for treatment and avoid hesitation in seeking medical care. If the intellectual disability does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
