Suggest Treatment For Speech Delay In A Toddler

default
Posted on Thu, 4 Dec 2014
Question: Hello Doctor,

My daughter is currently 3 years and 3 months old. She has severe speech delay (upto 90-100 words) and very hyperactive. When we try to talk to her or calls out her name, sometimes she doesn't understand/respond. She also has trouble talking to us and is limited only on 1 word at a time (sometimes she just gestures/points).
We are planning to start speech therapy for her from next month.
Is there any medication in homoepathy available which can help her with/;
1) speech delay
2) receptive-expressive issue
3) hyperactivity
4) Inattentiveness

Hello
I appreciate your intrest in homoepathy.

Homoeopathy have good medicine in such cases. Some time infants shows delayed mile stone. There may be several reason for that. Once we know the cause it is easier to treat the case.

I want you to answer some questions just to understand the case and decide the further process.
1 how is baby reflux towards sound?
2 while baby try to speak is that stammering or she is unable to speak?
3 hows her voice pitch level?
4 any other noticeable thing during her birth ie premature baby/cesarean etc?
5 any diagnosis etc

Please send me details of question so that i could understqnd the case in better manner.

Hope this is clear to you
In case of any query feel free to ask

Thanks

Hello Doctor,

I am not sure what is meant by reflux towards sound. If you mean, her response towards sound, then my daughter has very sharp ears. She can even hear a slight knock in some other room which sometimes other elders are unable to hear.
But sometimes if she is occupied with something (like watching cartoons etc), she wont respond when called her name. Other times, she responds in 1st attempt, sometimes she responds after 6-7 attempts which calling her name.


She doesn't have stammering issue. It is just that her vocabulary is limited, and she uses those words which she knows whenever she can. Rest of the time, she either babbles or points to things.

Her voice pitch level is too high sometimes. But in general, she speaks (infact babbles) as if she is in a conversation. Sometimes she tries to sing her rhymes (in same tune) but skips few words or mispronounce them.

She was born through cesarean.

She is a healthy, playful child, and so far so issues are detected apart from what I mentioned in my main question post.

Please suggest whether we have any homoeopathic remedy for below:

1) speech delay
2) receptive-expressive issue
3) hyperactivity
4) Inattentiveness

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Mrs XXXX
I have carefully studied your query and on the basis of symptom i am prescribing some medicine for baby.
I would suggest she take the following as prescribed:

Calcarea phos 200 6 pills once in a day
Calcarea carb 30 6 pills twice in a day
Conium mac 6, 4 drops mix with half cup of water twice in a day

This will help to improve her memory and at same time it will increase her learning capacity.
Medicine works in case of delayed mile stone.
You can also visit to speech therapist it will also help child to learn faster.
Take the medicine for a month and revert back to us.
Medicine are safe for child and have no side effect.

Hope this is clear to you
if you have any query feel free to ask

Thanks
