Hi XXXXXXX ,
Thanks for the query.

I have read your query and understand your concern.

In my opinion , you will need oral cavity, nasal cavity & larynx examination for any anatomical malformation .
I would advice you , consult ENT specialist for examination & get it correct .

For pronouncing correction of 'L' and 'R' , you have to go through speech therapy by consulting speech therapist after ENT specialist .

Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
