What should be done if a child's intellectual development is delayed?

Patient's question:

My child is already six years old today, but his IQ is similar to that of a three or four-year-old child. I'm so afraid he might be mentally retarded. I don't know what caused this. What should I do if my child's intellectual development is delayed? Do I need to be treated? How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, intellectual development delay may be related to shortcomings in growth and development. It could be caused by a lack of nutrients or related to issues with brain function disorders. It is recommended to seek medical guidance for a thorough examination to identify the specific problem, and then use medication for repair and conditioning. In the future, it is important to pay attention to a rational diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
