Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. Since he started learning to speak, his pronunciation has always been inaccurate. At first, I didn't pay attention, thinking it would improve as he grew older. Now I've noticed that he pronounces "g" as "d," for example, saying "" as "." What should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
I don't know if there is a tendon under his tongue pulling it, making it short and not prominent. One of my friend's children is like this, and then they went to the doctor for treatment. I don't know if you took your child to the doctor. At this age, the child wouldn't have this issue. If you can make sounds, it means your vocal cords are normal, and it's likely the environment. Another thing is to check if the child has been examined by a psychiatrist for autism. He can also see if his child is willing to play with other children. If he likes playing with other children, it means he doesn't have autism.
