What Causes Delayed And Slurred Speech While Recovering From High Fever?
My son had a fever of 103.8 last week and we rushed him to the hospital. They gave him a shot of antibiotics and sent us home since blood work only showed elevated for inflammation and he had been diagnosed with strep 2 days prior. Now he is stuttering really bad. Should we be concerned? He does have a speech delay but never has he stuttered like this.
