Question
My child finds it particularly difficult to speak; it took a long time to learn to call ‘Dad’ and ‘Mom’, and at 6 years old, he still walks poorly and often falls. Now his intelligence is much lower than that of children of the same age. We are very worried. What should intellectual disability patients eat?
Answer
Based on your description, if a child has lower intellectual ability compared to peers, with a weaker worldview ability, traditional Chinese medicine decoctions can be used for nourishment. Ginseng, especially old mountain ginseng, is often used and can be very effective. If the IQ is low and cannot reach the intellectual level of peers, this condition is incurable. In addition to symptomatic treatment, intellectual disability patients should also maintain proper dietary habits in their daily lives to digest body nutrition. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you!
