Patient's question:
The child has now been diagnosed with ADHD. My child can't do anything properly and is always forgetful. After the examination, I am quite worried because the child never stops moving. What should I do if the child has ADHD?Doctor's answer:
Do not prescribe sedatives for children with ADHD to prevent lead, mercury, and other poisoning. Do not let children touch paint or cause overeating. Toys should not contain excessive lead. Reduce excessive academic pressure at home and school, set appropriate expectations based on the child's actual situation, and complement it with appropriate physical exercise. Pay attention to maintaining adequate sleep and arrange for a reasonable study schedule. ADHD is pathological and should not be discriminated against. Physical conflicts should be avoided to prevent exacerbating the child's trauma. Medication is necessary for children with ADHD, but it cannot replace education. Medication can provide good educational conditions, and it is important to understand its functions and side effects correctly.
