Patient's question:
Less crying, poor sleep, slow weight gain, fixed mindset, 32 days of being startled and crying, past treatment and effectiveness: At birth, the doctor said the newborn had hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. After fourteen days of treatment, it felt good. After eating, it could sleep for about three hours. Two days later, there was a lot of noise at home, and the baby had already started sleeping poorly, but it still had over an hour of sleep. After waking up, it needed to be fed, but its spirits were good. Around the twenty-first day, it would smile, but it still slept little. Its hearing and touch were particularly sensitive. Whenever there was a sound or it accidentally touched something, it would wake up, then need to be fed, and also vomit milk. Later, afraid that it would eat too much, they stopped feeding it, and it would cry very hard. Sometimes, they thought crying wasn't a big deal.Doctor's answer:
First, let me correct a few things. Your child, who is so young, currently does not have any thoughts. Your child's symptoms of being easily startled and vitamin D deficiency are related to hypocalcemia and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, which manifest as high excitability.Advice: In addition to actively supplementing with vitamin D preparations such as cod liver oil and Eiko Xin, the focus should also be on the nervous system. According to your description, your child has undergone two courses of treatment with neurotrophic drugs, but currently, it seems that muscle strength and muscle tone are a bit low. It is best to go to the hospital for a follow-up cranial CT or MRI and have a pediatric neurologist provide a comprehensive evaluation of the test results. Wishing your baby a healthy growth!
