Hi, it is about 16 months that my son who is five and half years old has lost his ability to speak, he does not have a good appetite, he eats very little food, and cries a lot during the day and night. I would like to seek your assistance in this regard, though I have taken to doctors many time but no improvement is observed.
Hi.... I understand your concern. I have few questions and suggestions for you -1. What is his birth weight and current weight?2. When did he start walking?3. Did he cry immediately after birth or did he require any special assistance to take the first breath?4. How long does he see television or tablet or cartoons per day?5. Did any one of the parents had a speech delay as child Chat Doctor.  How many words s does he speak as of now- I mean his vocabulary consists of how many words? Suggestions:1. I suggest you are doing great by singing rhymes to him.2. Do not use tablet or computer or TV or laptop for doing that.3. Do not force him too mucChatDoctorparing him with others.4. He might get benefited by speech therapy, but before that kindly get back with the answers to my above questions. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help.
