There are medications for the treatment of ADHD. Those are brain stimulant drugs which can be used only on the prescription of psychiatrist. So consult a Pediatric psychiatrist for the evaluation of your child and for the planning of strategies to manage your child and for the reuired medication advise.

Hi
I appreciate your concern.your child is suffering from ADHD,there are two modalities of treatment one is behaviourial therapy and other is medication.i advise you to get consultation from a psychiatist or pediatrician.You need to be patient with your child.try to channelize him to some constructive work,teach him relaxation techniques appropriate for his age,this has to be a team effort from his parents.teachers.
give him good balanced diet,avoid coffee,chocolate drinks as they contain caffeine.
hope your son will lead a normal life with your love and care.
god bless.
