Question

A child has shown signs of delayed intellectual development since childhood and has been diagnosed with intellectual disability after hospital examination. How should such children be treated?

Answer

Intellectual disability is a condition that cannot be completely cured on its own. For affected children, special education and scientific rehabilitation training should be adopted to promote their intellectual development. It is recommended that parents take their children to regular hospitals for diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, in daily life, attention should be paid to the child’s diet, avoiding the intake of monosodium glutamate, reducing the consumption of beverages, yogurt, sugar, and puffed snacks, and ensuring that the diet is rich in vitamins and trace elements. For children with more severe intellectual disability, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor’s treatment recommendations, avoiding self-changing the treatment plan. The above suggestions are for reference only, and specific treatment plans should be formulated based on the doctor’s professional advice.
