Advice on grade school kids with add/adhd?

Having some trouble deciding which way to go
i have a 7 yr old son that isn't super hyper he just cant sit still took a test (psychological evaluation)
his level of attention and concentration was low and he was easily distracted
just to kinda name a bit

now what im looking for is other parents that have had gone through this and which way they went with (so called treatment)
im just worried about putting him on medication due to him being 7 or what if its not the right medicines or diagnosis
(makes him worse)

My little brother is the same way. all his teachers tell him he is very bright but he gets desracted way to quickly. We dont want to traumatize him either. a phisician told us to involve him in a sport it will help. unless you want to put him on medication.
