Has been taking traditional Chinese medicine and children's intelligence syrup at Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for half a year, feels a bit better in terms of temperament, but has made little progress in other areas. An electroencephalogram was normal, blood lead levels were normal, and there is slightly low zinc. Currently just started taking Focalin.Doctor's answer:
What is the IQ score? What specific method was used for the test? Based on your description of your child's condition, it is not a simple issue of intelligence but rather behavioral problems that are more prominent. Therefore, medication for ADHD cannot solve everything. It is recommended to visit Nanjing Brain Hospital for consultation.We know that intellectual disability in children has a significant impact. If treatment is not initiated promptly or if the wrong treatment method is used, the condition can progress rapidly, causing great harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and seek timely medical treatment.
