Patient's question:
Medication for children with ADHD? My friend's child has been in third grade for a while but has a problem. He always doesn't take his tutoring seriously and is always moving around in his seat, which makes the teacher very annoyed. Later, they heard it might be an ADHD issue, but they don't know how to handle it well. Can ADHD be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is very important for children with ADHD to take medication. Only by enhancing the guidance methods, such as cultivating attention, establishing regular lifestyle habits, and fostering children's self-esteem and confidence, can excessive energy be avoided. First, behavioral reward methods can be adopted. Second, reduce the intake of foods containing tyrosine and methyl salicylic acid, such as steamed noodles, pastries, tomatoes, apples, oranges, etc. Also, reduce the consumption of foods containing lead and iron, such as liver, beans, peanuts, poultry blood, and lean meat, etc.
