Hello and welcome to Lybrate. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Hyperactivity can be cured with the help of behavior therapy. But we should first confirm it as hyperactivity. I suggest telephonic counseling for you. You can contact me for further advice and treatment options. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.

Combination of medicines and behaviour therapy will help her. Once she learns to manage her symptoms, medicines can be reduced.
