Need work-up: ADHD can co-exist with other medical problems which need to be evaluated to diagnose and treat your son's salt cravings. Endocrine or metabolic disorders should be assessed. Start by talking to your son's primary care doctor who should guide you to medical specialists if necessary. Best of luck!
