Patient's question:
The child is already five years old and seems somewhat abnormal, not like a normal child. They always sleep and are slow to react. Is it possible that they have low intelligence? Now, they want to know how one gets a disease like low intelligence.Doctor's answer:
The daily care of patients with intellectual disabilities is very important, playing a key role in their comprehensive recovery and prognosis. It mainly involves paying close attention to the patient's daily behavior and clearly understanding their intentions. At the beginning, the focus should be on supervision to prevent the patient from wandering aimlessly, coming into contact with dangerous or hot objects, and to prevent the formation of pressure sores by frequently repositioning them. Regular baths should be given to keep the body and mouth clean. When feeding, do so slowly and provide frequent warm water. In addition to active treatment, patients with intellectual disabilities also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in their daily lives, as a positive attitude is very helpful for recovery. I hope the above information is helpful to you. Thank you.
