Question
At two weeks old, the baby had an electromyogram and CT scan in Jinan, and blood tests were also conducted, but the baby still can’t speak; I am very worried. Is it necessary for me to go to the Beijing Children’s Hospital for another consultation in this situation?
Answer
During the age of language learning in normal children, they can master a large number of words in one year, especially between the ages of 3 and 5, where the number of words increases geometrically. However, children with slow language development may only learn four or five words in a year, which requires a great deal of effort. If a child has brain development issues or intellectual disability, traditional Chinese medicine can be used to promote the development of the child’s brain. There is no time to wait; if these years are not treated, it will delay the child’s education. Children must recover normally by the age of seven, and treatment also takes time.
