Patient's question:
A baby who is more than ten months old has been staring with wide eyes and pulling their chin down hard, pushing their upper lip inward towards their mouth for the past two days. While performing these actions, the baby's hands and feet are normal, and they are alert. The baby does not exhibit these actions when playing outside, but tends to do them more frequently when waking up or staying at home at night. The baby performs this action about eight times a day, with each action lasting approximately five seconds.Doctor's answer:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), medically known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a common behavioral problem in children. Children with this condition have normal or near-normal intelligence but exhibit defects in learning, behavior, and emotions, characterized by symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, short attention span, excessive activity, and impulsive emotions.
