Question
My child is usually very lively and active. Now that they are in kindergarten, the teacher has mentioned that the child might have ADHD, as they can’t sit still during class and are constantly moving around, unable to settle down. Where should I go to see a professional for a child with ADHD?
Answer
ADHD is a common pediatric condition that can typically be treated by the neurology department of a hospital. Symptoms of ADHD include inattention, hyperactivity, eye blinking, and nose picking. It’s important to treat this condition early and regularly follow up to prevent it from affecting the child’s education. Additionally, it’s necessary to carefully check for deficiencies in trace elements such as zinc, iron, and calcium, which can lead to symptoms such as inattention.
