Question
My child has seemed somewhat dull since infancy, but I didn’t pay much attention. Later, I noticed that the child’s cognitive growth and development was particularly slow, so I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and was surprised to find out that the child has cognitive impairment. How should a boy with delayed cognitive development be handled?
Answer
A 7-year-old child has been diagnosed with delayed cognitive development, accompanied by hyperactivity and lack of concentration. It is recommended to undergo detailed endocrine hormone tests under the guidance of a doctor and to check for familial cognitive impairment and genetic inheritance. For patients with severe delayed cognitive development, it is suggested to seek medical treatment immediately based on the doctor’s advice and not to blindly trust advertised medications for treatment, as this may worsen the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you.
