Question
A 3-year-old and 10-month-old boy can only speak up to 5 or 6 words, and he understands commands well and knows everything. His expression is poor; is he developing slowly, and can he be treated with medication?
Answer
Based on the description of the child’s situation, a 3-year-old baby in October can only speak a maximum of 5.6 words. It is understandable that the baby’s expression of commands is not good, and the baby may experience language disorders. It is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up. Suggestions include reasonable feeding, more sun exposure, supplementation with vad drops, regular monitoring of the baby’s growth and development, and more communication and participation in group activities with the child.
