The child is only in the first grade, but always feels like they can't learn anything, thinking there might be an issue with their intelligence. How can the treatment for low intelligence be improved?Doctor's answer:
Intellectual disability caused by illness is better to investigate the etiology and timely treatment, such as hypothyroidism, phenylketonuria, etc., children with endocrine decomposition metabolism abnormalities should be diagnosed early, and take thyroid hormone replacement or special dietary therapy for phenylketonuria, to stabilize their intellectual level.
