Patient's question:
My son was diagnosed with a 15-degree strabismus three years ago, accompanied by 200 degrees of astigmatism. Recently, he has been tilting his head frequently, especially when stationary.Doctor's answer:
For children with ADHD, the first step is to help them build confidence in their treatment and enhance their subjective initiative to strengthen self-control. Secondly, attention should be paid to dietary nutrition and a well-arranged schedule to cultivate good habits. Thirdly, parents and teachers should be more understanding and caring towards these children, promptly praising and encouraging their small progress. It is crucial to avoid being simplistic, harsh, or discriminatory, as this may harm their self-esteem, cause psychological trauma, and lead to hostile emotions. Neither should they be overly indulgent of their stubbornness. During the treatment process, it is essential to closely monitor the child's reactions and adjust medication dosage or decide to stop or change medication in a timely manner. Attention should also be paid to adhering to the treatment and preventing the child from terminating treatment and medication on their own.
