Patient's question:
A few months ago, he started having unintentional head shaking like muscle cramps. He often fidgets in class and doesn't concentrate on his homework. It's okay when someone is watching him, but if no one is around, he has to do his homework until after 10 PM. Is this ADHD? What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Children with ADHD are characterized by inattention, short attention span, hyperactivity, and impulsive emotions that affect academic performance. You can take medication, enhance attention training, develop a regular lifestyle, cultivate your child's self-esteem and confidence, and reduce the intake of foods containing tyrosine, methyl salicylate, and lead. Include iron-rich foods, etc. Therefore, the daily diet of the child still needs to pay attention to nutrition, and it should also be light.
