How is mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy treated?

Patient's question:

On the surface everything seems normal, but occasionally there are some convulsions. This started right after birth, and the reason was that the mother's amniotic fluid was slightly cloudy, indicating a mild condition.
Past treatment and effectiveness:
Right after birth, the child received a course of treatment at Taihe Hospital for 12 days, primarily using micro-dose intravenous fluids with "ganglioside" as the main medication, along with many drugs that support brain cell nutrition. Upon discharge, an MRI was performed, and the images showed slight brain edema, but the doctor said it wasn't a serious issue.
Regarding further assistance:
I would like to find a better hospital in Wuhan to undergo rehabilitation treatment. Additionally, I would like to know if such a young child can undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy. I would also appreciate it if I could get the doctor's contact number. Thank you. I am very urgent and worried.

Doctor's answer:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
Yes. The benefits of entering a hyperbaric oxygen chamber are: supplying blood from the surrounding normal brain tissue to the lesion area; the phenomenon of retrograde and inverse blood flow. After giving brain thrombosis patients vasodilator drugs, normal brain tissue cells react sensitively to the drug, while the lesion area reacts less sensitively, and the blood vessels also do not dilate. The blood in the brain flows from the normal brain tissue (the dilated area) over, without passing through the area with lesions. This phenomenon is called retrograde blood flow. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment has the effect of treating retrograde blood flow.
