Patient's question:
My friend's younger brother was born with congenital mental retardation, but it's not too severe. Now he's 7 years old and can say some monosyllabic words, like "father" and "mother." My friend's parents are very worried. What kind of medicine would be good for him?Doctor's answer:
The reasons for Xiao Er's intellectual disability: 1. Infection and poisoning are the primary factors. It is clear that pregnancy infections with rubella, influenza, and other viral diseases, especially maternal infections in the first three months of pregnancy, can easily lead to congenital deformities and intellectual disabilities. Severe infections during the perinatal period, such as amniotic fluid infection, infant encephalitis, meningitis, sexually transmitted diseases, severe pregnancy toxemia, maternal lead, mercury, chemical substances, and drug toxicity can all affect brain function, resulting in low intelligence. It is recommended that the best treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
