What Causes Speech Regression In A Toddler?

I’m sorry to bother you. My 3 and a half year old son has had cold like symptoms for about 2 months. He was speaking pretty clearly but his speech has turned into a incoherent mumble. He seems to know what he wants and is able to speak some words clearly, far less then he use to. He has no allergies and is going to see a ENT next month any idea why the regression in speech? Or what can be the problem? Our pediatrician seemed to be busy last time we visited and had no answers.

Welcome to HealthcareMagic

As the speech becomes incoherent and is retrogressive so instead of visiting a pediatrician you should visit a neurologist . As your child needs evaluation by neuroimaging of brain as MRI and SPECT scan
