Can language delay be cured on its own? The doctor advises you…

Question 1: The baby is two years old. He is suspected to be autistic. The MRI and heel blood genetic and metabolic examinations show abnormality. Can this rule out autism? Dr. Song Shufen answered: The diagnosis of autism should be based on symptoms. Some children with autism have combined intelligence, language, and motor development delays. MRI can only diagnose the development of the brain. Although many children with autism are related to brain development, this alone cannot diagnose autism. Autism has a special rating scale, which also needs to be combined with the child\’s performance. No single test can diagnose a child with autism. If the child shows that he does not like to interact with others, always plays by himself, avoids eye contact, lags in language development, has a narrow range of interests, and repeats stereotyped behaviors, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for an overall evaluation in a timely manner. Question 2: My baby is more than five months old and has had diarrhea for more than a month. He has green poop with mucus. After taking probiotics for four days, there is no effect and I still have diarrhea. What should I do? Dr. Cui Lixia’s answer: It is recommended to stop the medication and temporarily stop breastfeeding. Because the diarrhea lasted for more than a week, it caused secondary lactose intolerance and the medicine was not effective. After the diarrhea is cured, I will start breastfeeding again. Now I only take lactose-free milk powder, which is beneficial to the recovery of the baby\’s intestinal tract. Generally, it takes 2-3 days to have an effect, and it takes about a week to recover. Question 3: My baby had enteritis before, but it is better now, but there is mucus like mucus after wiping the bottom after defecation. What is going on? Dr. Luo Zhen’s answer: If your baby’s bowel movements are normal and the shape is normal, there is no need to worry. The intestines are not dry, and the mucus on the baby\’s butt is normal intestinal fluid. If there is a sudden increase in intestinal fluid, it may be due to inflammation, so just add some probiotics.
