Patient's question:
The teacher said that my child is particularly active in class. Actually, my child has been very mischievous since he was young, always moving his hands and feet non-stop. Today, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it's ADHD. I want to know how to deal with children with ADHD and what treatment is most effective for it.Doctor's answer:
There are many treatment methods for ADHD. First, it is important to pay attention to zinc supplementation. This is a crucial element for maintaining acid-base balance. The main cause of ADHD is excessive lead in the patient's blood. Zinc intake helps reduce the high lead content in the body, so consuming foods like fish, peanuts, and eggs regularly can help supplement zinc. For children with ADHD, in addition to ensuring adequate rest, nutrition, and water, they can also take necessary safety measures to prevent injuries and reduce the occurrence of complications, help eliminate various stress factors, and promptly correct bad habits such as blinking excessively, shaking, or twisting their heads. This is to avoid the development of habitual movements. Secondly, active rehabilitation treatment should be carried out to help children arrange study plans, encourage medication use during activities, participate in learning activities, and engage in various cultural and sports activities.
