Question

What are the common treatment methods for children with intellectual disability?

Answer

Most cases of intellectual disability in children are caused by genetic disorders or congenital diseases, such as chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome, Edward syndrome, and congenital hypothyroidism. It is recommended to conduct a detailed examination of the child to determine the cause. If the cause is genetic chromosomal abnormalities, there are currently no effective treatment methods; if it is congenital metabolic disorders, the condition can be controlled through lifelong medication. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients should also pay attention to maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Choosing a professional hospital for treatment will help achieve better therapeutic effects.
