Question
The child was late in speaking before, but now at 4 and a half years old, many words are pronounced incorrectly. The tongue tie has been checked and found to be fine. Does this situation require hospital rehabilitation treatment?
Answer
Hello, the child was late in speaking before, and now at 4 and a half years old, many sounds are still unclear. The primary consideration is delayed language development. The tongue tie is fine, but the current situation suggests giving the child oral training and rehabilitation treatment to promote language and cognitive development. Regular follow-up evaluations are also necessary. Some children speak more slowly, so family members can guide and exercise them. If you are not sure, you can consult with the local hospital about whether it is necessary to have rehabilitation treatment in daily life. At the same time, pay attention to keeping warm, avoiding colds, engaging in appropriate exercise to strengthen the body, and focusing on balanced diet, not being picky with food, and paying attention to the weather. When the weather is good, we should expose ourselves to sunlight more often and consume more calcium-rich foods.
