Question

My daughter is almost 3 years old, but she still can’t speak. She takes a long time to call people, and her pronunciation is not standard, and she almost doesn’t understand things. What should I do?

Answer

Hello! First, you should rule out whether the child has hearing problems. At the same time, observe whether the child is unwilling to play with other children or has repetitive stereotyped behaviors that may indicate autism. If these can be ruled out, it may be a brain issue. In this case, you should seek comprehensive rehabilitation treatment as soon as possible. The main treatment methods include acupuncture, massage, external counterpulsation, and language therapy. You also need to take your child to the hospital to check if her vocal cords are normal, and if there are any problems, surgery may be required to resolve them.
