Question
Are newborns or infants between 2-6 months old prone to exhibiting symptoms of brain injuries? What specific symptoms should be observed?
Answer
If newborns or infants between 2-6 months old suffer from brain injuries, they may exhibit symptoms such as being easily startled, vomiting, restlessness, loss of appetite, and sleep disturbances. Additionally, they may also experience symptoms like drooling, respiratory difficulties, and swallowing difficulties. If an infant over 105 days old still cannot lift their head, or if their head is still unstable at 4-5 months old, these could be signs of brain injury. It is recommended that parents bring their child to a pediatric neurorehabilitation department for an intellectual activity assessment. If problems are found, timely rehabilitation treatment should be sought; if there are no issues, regular prenatal checks are sufficient. In addition to timely treatment, patients should maintain a light diet and engage in appropriate outdoor activities.
