Hello. The daughter has problems pronouncing some words correctly, e.g. instead of carrot - the daughter says marfetka, Violetta - says the bioletta … despite correcting the child and asking to repeat the word correctly after a while in a full sentence she utters them incorrectly again. Sometimes, when she wants to say something, she repeats the beginning of a sentence as if she had some air (eg, Mum, could I… could I… or could I go out to my friend) Madzia has an overgrown third tonsil from an early age. He no longer has bronchitis. Are the problems I'm writing about because of an oversized tonsil? Is it normal at this age? Should I see a doctor and what kind?
Yes, the problems you describe may be related to the hypertrophy of the third tonsil. It is worth going to the ENT specialist to check how big the hypertrophy is and whether surgery will be necessary. An overgrown almond contributes to articulation disorders and problems with smooth breathing.
