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 her intelligence and growth more slowly, and she is not mute. Hello, how should we treat children with delayed intellectual development?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your baby's current condition, it would be a good idea to check the thyroid hormones to see if there are any abnormalities. As long as your baby can hear and understand the meaning of adult answers and express themselves clearly, there should be no major issues. I suggest you go to a larger city, like Beijing, for a re-examination to see the severity of the situation. This way, you can feel more at ease. Wishing you good health.
