Patient's question:
My child was originally quite late in speaking. They didn't start calling "Mommy" and "Daddy" until they were half a year older. When they started talking, I felt they had a bit of a thick tongue, speaking unclearly. Later, I thought that maybe it would be better as they grew older. But over time, I noticed it was getting worse. My two-and-a-half-year-old's stuttering is becoming more severe. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to guiding the baby regularly, and you can provide language therapy and rehabilitation for the baby. Additionally, it is important to carefully observe the baby's growth and development, avoid environments that may hinder the baby's language development, and monitor whether the baby's height and weight indicators are fully met. It is recommended to have growth and development tests done in the pediatric health care department to assess the baby's growth and development as well as intellectual development.
