Answer
Do not administer tranquilizers to children with ADHD to prevent lead, mercury, and other intoxications. Avoid allowing children to come into contact with paint and excessive food intake. Ensure toys do not contain excessive lead. Reduce excessive learning pressure at home and school, make correct demands based on the child’s actual situation, and accompany appropriate physical exercise. Pay attention to maintaining adequate sleep and arranging for reasonable study. Prevent certain adverse factors during pregnancy, such as maternal viral infection and maternal illness. Prevent causes of perinatal brain damage, such as emergencies, delayed delivery, intrauterine asphyxia, and intracranial hemorrhage, and monitor high-risk children who have already appeared. Do not give children spicy seasonings (such as pepper or black pepper), and eat less food rich in methyl salicylate, such as tomatoes, apples, and oranges.
