How To Increase Memory Power In Child?

5 year old child cant remember My 5year old boy is in kindergarten. When he gets out of school I ask him what he did today and hardly remembers anything. I know it was a long day, but I can ask him a question 5 minutes after something and he still cant remember, should I be concerned?

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.

Memory power cannot be increased by medicines. But for increasing concentrating capacity sometime iron supplementation might help. It can be given at 3mg/kg/day (Of elemental iron) in a single dose. If still it doesn't help I suggest you take your pediatrician's help.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
