How is childhood ADHD with convulsions treated?

Patient's question:

A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they experience tremors. How is pediatric hyperkinetic seizure syndrome treated?

Doctor's answer:

Children experiencing recurrent tics generally require consideration of two situations: one is tics caused by high fever seizures, or another is a deficiency in vitamins and trace elements, specifically calcium deficiency. Additionally, it could be due to epilepsy. It is necessary to conduct a thorough brainwave examination and make a comprehensive evaluation to determine the exact cause for proper treatment. If it is ADHD, it is generally aimed at improving the child's learning ability, and medications such as methylphenidate are typically prescribed.
