Patient's question:
Health consultation description: My child is six years old this year, but he has always been unable to sit still. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was confirmed to be attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Will it interfere with the child's future intellectual development?Doctor's answer:
This illness must be followed according to medical advice. The medications for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) include traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine. TCM generally has no side effects, while Western medicine has many toxic side effects. Based on over ten years of clinical experience, TCM treatment is one of the ideal methods for managing ADHD. ADHD primarily manifests as constant small movements, short listening attention spans, reactions to stimuli from all directions, emotional instability, guilt, stubbornness, shouting for no reason, impatience, and hasty actions. Eat a nutrient-rich diet, including high-protein foods, get adequate rest, and avoid overexertion; avoid alcohol; and always maintain a cheerful spirit.
