Tongue ties can be corrected very easily by minor surgical procedures. Using latest technologies like laser these procedures are dealt routinely. My advise would be to get your child assessed by a speech therapist if it’s really due to the tongue tie. If yes proceed with frenectomy(procedure to release the tongue tie) as soon as possible.

Clinical examination is important to decide if it requires any intervention at this stage or not
