Patient's question:
My son is over 4 years old. Recently, for the past one or two months, he has been blinking hard, being sensitive to light, and his eyes turn red when he uses them for a long time (when he focuses on doing something). I don't know if the doctors' diagnoses are correct and how long it will take to see results. These past few days, I've been worried that he might have developed some bad habits, so I keep reminding him, but as soon as he twists his mouth, he starts blinking again. Is there something wrong with his nerves?Doctor's answer:
Hello, ADHD can be treated with psychological counseling. Pay attention to maintaining a peaceful family atmosphere and avoid overfocusing on the child's symptoms to prevent them from worsening. Medications can be chosen based on the least side effects on the child, such as thioridazine, taking half a tablet in the morning. Treatment time may take several months to prevent recurrence.
