Patient's question:
15-year-old boy, 9 months old. The teacher reports that the child has been restless and unable to sit still for the past few months, not listening to instructions and constantly moving, feeling like he can't stop and getting very agitated. He also can't sit still during practice like other children. The hospital examination revealed that he has ADHD. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms are significant and can be treated with oral haloperidol tablets or symptomatic medications. The main cause of ADHD is high blood lead levels in children. Supplementing with zinc and selenium can help reduce lead levels in the body. Trace elements zinc and selenium can antagonize heavy metals. It is recommended to consume foods rich in zinc and selenium, such as fish, lean meat, peanuts, sesame, dairy products, mushrooms, eggs, and garlic, and to take zinc supplements appropriately. ADHD can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, dietary issues should be given close attention, with a focus on a light diet. It is hoped that ADHD patients can receive professional treatment.
