Hello doctor, My son is 2.4 years old. He has still not started talking. He also does not follow instructions; hence it is very difficult to make him sit and teach him how to talk. He does not even follow us when we talk to him or try to make him learn or focus. He rarely responds to his name, when a family member calls him. But to strangers, he does not respond at all. However, he is a very active toddler and loves to watch and listen to his favorite songs, he also loves and happily watches cartoons and nursery rhymes. He loves to explore mobile phones and TV remotes. He likes to see pictures. One more issue is he does not chew food, although he has got all his milk teeth. Even if we try to give him semi-solid food, he would either spit them or choke. Please advise about what to do. I am quite worried. Please help.
Hi. As per your history, I have a few queries. It is advisable you get a detailed investigative workup with hearing test after a physical examination. For further queries consult a paediatrician online -->
