Question
My child is usually playful, not very mischievous at school, but as soon as he gets home, he’s immediately into playing. He loves car toys and even holds them while doing homework. Sometimes, after calling him a few times, he gets distracted again. He enjoys playing with younger children. Could this be pediatric hyperactivity disorder? Thank you?
Answer
Considering your child’s situation, here are some dietary suggestions: Pork and Lily Soup: Boil 75 grams of lean pork, 30 grams of lily bulbs, and 30 grams of lily flowers together in a sand pot with water. Season and consume once a day. Shrimp Shell Soup: Take 15 grams of shrimp shells, 9 grams of acorus, and 9 grams of polygala. Take this once a day for long-term effectiveness. Lily Meat Soup: Boil 20 grams of lily meat, 15 grams of coix seed, and 12 grams of jujube together until soft. Add a little sugar and have it for breakfast or as a pastry. Patients with this condition should avoid eating too much hot, spicy, or greasy food that may cause stomach upset. In daily meals, they should avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, and consuming spicy or greasy foods. Pay attention to consuming sufficient amounts of protein and vitamins and other nutrients, and eat more vegetables and fruits.
