Question
Is it possible to improve congenital intellectual disability? I have undergone a course of acupuncture treatment at a hospital, once a month, a total of five times, but there has been no effect. Could you recommend experts or hospitals in this field?
Answer
Generally speaking, congenital intellectual disability cannot be fully recovered in later life. However, parents should not give up hope. If it is confirmed as congenital, treatment should be started as soon as possible, the sooner the better, and strengthen postnatal training and nurturing. This may offer a chance to improve the child’s condition. Intellectual disability has a significant impact on children, so once problems are detected, parents should immediately take their child to a regular hospital for examination. They should also pay attention to their child’s diet, suggesting a reasonable diet and avoiding cold and cool foods. It is hoped that children can receive professional treatment to help them recover.
