Question
When a child has difficulty understanding no matter how much teaching is done, and shows slow responses in daily life, it is suspected that they may have intellectual disability. What are the symptoms of this condition, and what are the common treatment methods?
Answer
Children with intellectual disability often exhibit initial symptoms such as difficulty in breastfeeding, sometimes unable to suckle, and prone to vomiting; they have longer sleep times and appear very quiet with fewer cries. Currently, there is no effective treatment for intellectual disability, and recovery can only be achieved gradually through rehabilitation training and symptomatic treatment. For patients with severe symptoms of intellectual disability, immediate symptomatic treatment and rational use of medication should be sought to prevent recurrence of the condition. Additionally, patients need to maintain a cheerful mood to avoid exacerbation of the condition. Hope the above information is helpful to everyone.
