HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
In your case, you need consult a psychologist for proper dyslexia testing. That would help you to find out the severity of the problem. In dyslexia, there is no specific medication, but with help of special educator you can improve yourself. You can also try some neuroleotic after psychiatrist consultation. In case, you have more query, you can ask.
Thanks
