Patient's question:
A few months ago, an unconscious head shaking occurred, similar to muscle cramps. He often fidgets in class and doesn't concentrate on his homework. It's a relief that someone is nearby, but if no one is watching, he has to do his homework until after 10 PM. Is this ADHD? What should be done?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, strengthen attention training, develop regular living habits, cultivate your child's self-esteem and confidence, and reduce the intake of foods containing tyrosine, methyl salicylic acid, and lead. Include iron-rich foods, etc. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to nutrition in your child's daily diet, and it should be light and simple.
