Question
A child has shown signs of delayed intellectual development since childhood and has been diagnosed with intellectual disability after hospital examination. How should intellectual disability be treated?
Answer
Intellectual disability is often associated with brain inflammation and similar conditions. It is recommended to visit a neurology department for a detailed examination to determine the specific situation and adopt appropriate treatment. Generally, the possibility of complete recovery decreases with age. It is advisable for parents to bring their child to a specialist as soon as possible for a comprehensive examination and to develop a tailored treatment plan to help the child overcome the illness as soon as possible. For children with intellectual disability, parents need to be patient and pay attention to the child’s diet and care during treatment, ensuring adequate vitamin intake, avoiding diarrhea, and maintaining a light diet to reduce unnecessary health risks.
