My cousin went through this after his stroke. Along with regular speech therapy sessions, keeping blood sugar and BP perfectly under control is very important to prevent further issues. Avoid stressful routines and focus on simple healthy meals.

This is a serious medical situation that needs proper expert intervention. Please don't try any random exercises or remedies from the internet. Consult a professional speech therapist who can design a safe, customized rehabilitation plan.

Please make sure they are visiting a neurologist regularly for follow-ups. We delayed my father's checkups after his mild stroke, thinking he was recovering fine, but it caused speech delays later. Early and continuous professional rehab is a must.

Honestly, helping my granddad with this while managing my baby has been exhausting. But I noticed that patience works wonders; don't rush them when they are trying to speak. It takes time but they do improve slowly.

Consistency is key here, just like physical training. Small daily mouth and tongue exercises recommended by the therapist will help rebuild those neural pathways. Keep the diet clean with good proteins and soft foods to assist recovery.
