A 3-year-old male child presents with a unilateral cleft lip, which was first noticed at birth.The parents report difficulties with feeding during infancy and persistent speech issues. The child has not yet received speech therapy or additional surgical interventions.
What are the recommended treatment options for this patient moving forward, and how should the multidisciplinary care team approach the management of this case?

Surgical reconstruction of palate. ASAP , ideally it should be done at 5 to 6 months (cleft lip,) and 15-18 months if hard palate involvement
