Patient's question:
Medical History:Discovered at the age of three, speaking and learning to walk were normal, but it was found in kindergarten that the child was easily distracted, had difficulty concentrating, and struggled with learning. Currently in second grade of primary school.
Past Treatment and Effects:
Visited a professional hospital for intelligence testing and an electroencephalogram (EEG). The diagnosis was mild cerebral developmental delay, with the EEG results indicating a child's marginal tone state. Also underwent trace element testing: zinc, 11.255 μg/ml; iron, 18.047; copper, 2.955; lead, 30.596.
Help Needed:
Is the child truly suffering from mild cerebral developmental delay? How severe is it? What treatment should be recommended?
Doctor's answer:
It should be developmental delay in the brain. You can take the child to a regular hospital to check the degree of the defect and use medication under the guidance of a doctor. Patience is needed to teach the child to recognize characters, repeatedly explain the basic methods of pinyin, and provide diagrams. You can take the child to the countryside more often to explore nature, allowing their mind to be nurtured and inspired.Suggestions:
1. Strengthen postnatal training and seek professional institutions for assistance.
2. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, regularly test trace elements to guide dietary and health care medication use.
3. Treatment is a long-term process, so parents must be patient and confident, encouraging the child more and criticizing less. The child's mental health is equally important.
