Patient's question:
My child's teacher has already contacted me many times, saying that my child has ADHD. When other children attend tutoring sessions, he simply can't sit still, he just wants to move around, and he loves causing destruction. I'm planning to take her to get treated. Is there a need for medication to treat pediatric ADHD?Doctor's answer:
Consider using some medications to treat ADHD, such as methylphenidate, while also paying attention to behavioral control. Try to encourage the child to develop self-control and provide them with certain tasks, gradually shortening the time they need to sit still. In daily life, children with ADHD should eat less sugar and chocolate, and consume more fresh fruits and vegetables. Drinking at least 1000 milliliters of cool water daily is particularly important for the recovery of children with ADHD.
