Question
Doctor, if a patient has difficulty speaking clearly and their speech is accompanied by a post-nasal sound, how should it be handled?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, the patient’s unclear speech and heavy post-nasal sounds may be related to insufficient blood supply to the brain caused by cerebral thrombosis or cerebral infarction. It is recommended to bring the patient to a hospital’s neurology department for a consultation and relevant examinations, such as a brain CT scan, to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment. It is advisable to seek treatment at a professional hospital.
