Question
A child has shown signs of delayed intellectual development from a young age and has been diagnosed with intellectual disability after hospital examination. How should it be treated?
Answer
For children diagnosed with intellectual disability, it is first necessary to identify the cause and rule out factors such as brain inflammation, developmental abnormalities, and lead poisoning. It is recommended to consult a pediatrician or neurologist for further examination, including blood lead levels, brain CT scans, and trace elements, to determine the direction of treatment. Treatment should be based on the specific cause and should also maintain a positive attitude, pay attention to daily diet adjustment, avoid stimulating food, and promote the child’s healthy recovery.
