Which department should I visit if a 3-year-old cannot speak yet?
Disease description:
My child is already three years old, but still doesn't speak very clearly at times and can't accurately express his thoughts. I'm quite concerned, so I'd like to ask: which department should I make an appointment with if a three-year-old isn't speaking well?

If a three-year-old child is not yet speaking, the first step is to visit the pediatric care department at a正规 medical institution to assess the child's growth and development. If the cause is suspected to be related to abnormal neurological development, the child should see a pediatric neurologist. If the issue may stem from hearing impairment or vocal cord abnormalities, an appointment should be made with an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist.
