How to treat intellectual disability when it is discovered

Patient's question:

The baby is one week and one month old with intellectual disability issues. Early babies extend their tongues and drool. How is the tongue extended and how is the drooling? How should it be treated upon discovering intellectual disability?

Doctor's answer:

There are many reasons for low intelligence in children. Children with low intelligence often start to lift their heads, sit, stand, and walk at later ages compared to their normal peers. If this situation reoccurs, parents should pay more attention. For children with low intelligence, parents can provide targeted training based on the child's characteristics. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to their diet in daily life, ensuring they do not lack meat and maintain a balanced nutritional intake.
Furthermore, during the treatment for low intelligence, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must avoid excessive mental stress and worry to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery from low intelligence.
