Patient's question:
A 5-year-old and 9-month-old boy, who was recently diagnosed with ADHD, has been exhibiting behaviors such as eating paper in recent days. He hides food packaging and then retrieves it to eat later. What should be done about problem behaviors in children with ADHD, such as eating paper?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the child's recurring behavioral issues should be treated early. For this kind of situation, early treatment for the child's abnormal behavior is necessary to prevent the recurrence of dangerous circumstances. The child should be as soon as possible integrated into normal life. For severe ADHD patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and start treatment based on the doctor's advice. Avoid changing medications arbitrarily, as this may lead to the opposite effect.
