How should neonatal brain edema with convulsions be treated?

Patient's question:

The day after the child was born, in the afternoon, it was discovered that the child was having convulsions, trembling arms, blinking, and a bluish complexion. The child was taken to the hospital (Shenyang, Shengjing Hospital) for emergency treatment, and blood and urine samples were sent to Beijing Children's Hospital for testing.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Normal urine or blood tests in children only indicate that the tested condition is not abnormal, but do not rule out the possibility of other diseases. Such cases may not exclude the possibility of genetic metabolic diseases, or there may be abnormalities in the child's brain development, a history of infection during pregnancy, or a history of intrauterine hypoxia, all of which could lead to such symptoms.
Suggestions: If there is a problem with brain development, the child is likely to have sequelae, such as motor development delays or the possibility of epilepsy. Regular medical check-ups for the child are recommended, and if there are delays in motor development, rehabilitation treatment should be started promptly.
