Patient's question:
The child is only in the first grade, but always feels like they can never learn anything, thinking there might be an issue with their intelligence. How can one treat low intelligence to improve it?Doctor's answer:
For children with intellectual disabilities, the earlier the treatment and training, the better the outcome. It is generally believed that the optimal period should not be missed before the age of 6, and it is best to start implementing it before the child is 6 months old. Since the causes of intellectual disabilities in children are extremely complex, traditional methods such as taking medication or acupuncture can only temporarily suppress the condition and cannot achieve fundamental treatment. Stopping the treatment will lead to a rebound effect, leaving potential health risks for the child's future. It is recommended to actively carry out family rehabilitation training for children with intellectual disabilities, adhering to the principle of combining nutrition, education, care, and treatment. For severe cases of intellectual disabilities, it is advised to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's recommendations for prompt treatment.
