Symptoms and treatment of neonatal ADHD

Although neonatal ADHD is not a particularly serious disease, if it develops for a long time, it will pose a threat to the child's health. Therefore, for many parents, when they find that their children have ADHD, they want to fully understand the symptoms and treatments. In order for you to have a comprehensive understanding, let's take a look at the detailed answers below.

Neonatal ADHD symptoms

(1) First of all, newborns will be restless when feeding. The main thing is that the baby cannot calm down when feeding. He often stops feeding and spits out the nipple after a while. Then he turns his head to the side and feeds again after a while. This cycle repeats over and over again. If the mother takes care of him at this time, he will cry hard and end up spitting out all the milk he just fed.

(ii) Also, children move a lot during sleep and are very restless. This is what we often say: they are not idle even when sleeping. Generally speaking, what makes mothers most tired is that the baby's sleeping schedule is reversed day and night. The baby can often take two naps during the day, but plays non-stop at night, making it impossible for the mother to rest well. If the baby can sleep for an hour without waking up or making a fuss, the mother will feel satisfied.

(3) The baby is very prone to temper tantrums. If someone provokes him, he will cry loudly and no matter how you try to comfort him, he will not respond. This causes great trouble to his mother.

Warm reminder: The above is an introduction to the specific manifestations and symptoms of neonatal ADHD. I hope that new fathers and mothers will have a certain understanding of neonatal ADHD through the above introduction, and can more accurately judge whether the newborn baby has such symptoms and manifestations in daily life, so as to discover and treat them in time.

Treatment of ADHD in newborns

(I) Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine theory, the pathogenesis of neonatal ADHD is: dysfunction of the newborn's internal organs, mainly the heart, liver, spleen, and kidneys, which are often manifested as insufficient kidney essence, excessive liver yang, weak heart and spleen qi, and lack of water, which leads to imbalance of water and fire, insufficient heart yin, and rising heart fire. Therefore, Chinese medicine treatment of neonatal ADHD requires that the daily water intake reach a sufficient amount. Then provide emotional comfort to calm the newborn baby.

2. Physical therapy

Transcranial microcurrent stimulation therapy stimulates the brain through microcurrent, which can directly regulate the brain's secretion of a series of neurotransmitters and hormones that help improve the symptoms of ADHD and Tourette syndrome, such as endorphins, acetylcholine, etc. Because these hormones are involved in regulating many physiological and psychological activities of the human body, they can comprehensively improve abnormal manifestations such as emotional instability, irritability, and hyperactivity in children with ADHD and Tourette syndrome.

If a newborn has ADHD, parents must pay attention to it. First, they must understand the symptoms. After understanding the symptoms, if it is confirmed that the child has ADHD, they can choose the treatment method according to the above introduction. Through effective treatment, I believe that their child's ADHD can be improved as soon as possible through treatment.
