Mom of a 11 yr 6 m old girl7 years ago
Q.

hi Mam, My kid is 4.6 yrs old now. she's still not able to spell words correctly. Her tongue will not help her in spelling words, I always had a doubt that due to excessive usage of cough syrup, this happened. For more than 1 yr earlier, she used to have cough, for which we regularly used salbutamal syrups and other mentjol based syrups as well. Please clear my mind, whether my doubt is correct and any solution to this plzz.

A. Excessive use of cough syrup cannot lead to speech problems. Talk to your child more, the more you interact with the child the more they speak, take the child for outdoor playing and let them. Mingle with kids if same age as kids open up soon, also at home read stories, books, wth the child. If you still feel the child is not improving then consult your paediatrician fir speech therapy.

A. Talk more to your baby. Ask a lot of questions to baby and wait to her a response. Encourage baby to give an answer. If baby tries to speak, wait listen and ask questions. Keep talking to baby and answer to all the babbles. Tell your nay everything you do like I'm taking you to park I'm changing your diaper. Just keep talking and respond to everything your baby babbles or speaks. If it continues, I feel It's better to check with your doctor and follow their advise. That would be one of the best and safest option for your baby as of now.
