Question
My baby is six months old, and sometimes when I play with him, he shows symptoms like head shaking, breathing difficulties, and arm tremors. Today, I took him for a CT scan, and it was found that the lateral and third ventricles are slightly enlarged. The doctor suspects it’s due to hypoxia-induced brain maldevelopment. What should I do?
Answer
There are many possible causes for this condition, including prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal factors. Regardless of the cause, the focus now should be on early treatment to minimize potential sequelae, just as it would be with brain damage. Hypoxia-induced brain maldevelopment requires early detection, diagnosis, and treatment. Now is the time for rehabilitation therapy, with an emphasis on protection. When the baby is healthy, avoid diseases like pneumonia and encephalitis that can lead to brain damage. Use vitamins, trace elements, and proteins to help the brain and promote brain development drugs.
