hi
thanks for choosing healthcare magic
your son is just 5 years old and according to guideline there is no need to give medicine in case of ADHD if child age is less than 6 years. This is normally seen in children and with time he could improve. For attention u can try non-pharmacological method like coloring, putting beads in a thread etc. For anxiety, u can give low dose antidepressant if need. rest u can consult psychiatrist.
Thanks
