What should be done about pediatric ADHD?

Patient's question:

My younger brother was diagnosed by a doctor with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). He often has significant difficulty concentrating and very short attention spans. He finds it hard to stay focused during class or when doing homework, and he is often restless and fidgety. We want to know what to do about ADHD in children?

Doctor's answer:

Children with ADHD must receive treatment as early as possible. The earlier the treatment, the better the outcome. You can choose to take some medication for treatment. If a child has ADHD, we must pay more attention. Do not scold or punish the child for a long time each time they move, because long-term scolding or punishment can have a very serious impact on the child's heart. It is recommended to educate the child under the guidance of a doctor.
