Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift her head, can roll over, and has normal appetite. There are no significant abnormalities, but she sometimes trembles. Can biologic therapy treat pediatric intellectual disability? How to treat it?
Answer
Pediatric intellectual disability can be classified into congenital and acquired types. For congenital deficiencies, the main focus is on replenishing the liver and kidneys, and enhancing intelligence, which is suitable for the administration of Benyi Yidong Decoction and Zengzhi Yishou Coagulant. For acquired deficiencies, the emphasis is on nourishing the heart and spleen, benefiting Qi and nourishing blood, which is suitable for Mingzhi Decoction. We know that pediatric intellectual disability can cause significant harm to children. If not treated promptly or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression can be rapid, posing great harm to infants. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to their child’s condition and seek treatment early.
