How should pediatric ADHD be treated?

Patient's question:

I have a friend whose daughter has a very cute child. They came to my house for a few days this week. Gradually, I noticed some differences between him and other babies. He is often restless and never stays still. My friend said that this behavior might be a sign of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). How can ADHD in children be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, for children with ADHD, it is recommended to start with psychological counseling first. If the symptoms are mild, they can be treated effectively. During daily life, it's a good idea to take the child outdoors to play more. Praise the child when they do something well. In terms of diet, it's best to eat light and non-stimulating foods. It's also suggested to wait for a while to see if there's improvement. If it doesn't get better, medication treatment may be necessary. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
