Question
My son has rarely smiled since birth. Initially, I didn’t pay much attention, just walking around. When I see other children jumping around, I feel very worried. How should intellectual disability be treated effectively?
Answer
Based on your description, it may be a case of intellectual disability. Currently, this condition cannot be completely cured on its own. For patients, they need special education and scientific rehabilitation training methods to effectively improve their intellectual abilities. It is recommended to take them to a regular hospital for a re-examination. Additionally, in everyday life, one should also pay attention to diet. It is advisable to avoid monosodium glutamate, reduce the intake of drinks, yogurt, sugar, and puffed snacks. Eggs, milk, potatoes, and similar foods are recommended. Moreover, during the treatment of intellectual disability, in addition to symptomatic treatment, the patient’s dietary condition and mental state are also very important. Patients must avoid excessive stress and worry to prevent unnecessary effects on the complete recovery from intellectual disability.
