Patient's question:
My daughter is only four years old now, but I've noticed that she hasn't been able to speak yet at this age. I took her to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said that she is just developing mentally and physically slower, but she is not mute. Hello, how should we treat children with delayed intellectual development?Doctor's answer:
According to the current condition of your baby, you can check the thyroid hormone to see if there are any abnormalities. As long as your baby can hear and understand the meaning of adult answers and can express themselves, it should not be a major problem. It is recommended that you go to a larger city, such as Beijing, for a re-examination to see the severity of the situation. This way, you can feel more at ease.
