Patient's question:
When born in the hospital, we noticed the umbilical cord was wrapped around our child. It was wrapped around the body one full loop. After 26 hours, there were spasms on the left side, and the lips turned blue. At that time, the doctor administered oxygen to relieve the bluish lips. Since it had only been one day since birth, the cause was still unclear, so we were transferred to a larger hospital. During the hospital stay of 15 days, we had X-rays and CD scans, all of which were normal. Later, when discharged, the medical records confirmed the diagnosis as: intracranial hemorrhage, hypoglycemia (at the time of transfer, blood sugar was checked as 0.01, and later upon discharge, the blood sugar record was 3.00), and aspiration pneumonia with brain edema. On the day of discharge, when I got home, I noticed that the child's right side was trembling. However, the hands and feet sometimes had disordered tremors, while at other times they had consistent tremors. Gradually, the head also began to tremble occasionally, apart from the tremors, everything else was normal. Due to this situationDoctor's answer:
Your child's umbilical cord was compressed at the time, disrupting blood supply to the brain and oxygen supply, showing abnormal pulses in the cerebral cortex. This is what is commonly known as epilepsy. It is recommended that you seek timely medical attention from a specialized hospital or a regular hospital for diagnosis. Brain (EEG) and brain CT scans should be conducted for thorough examination. Once a clear diagnosis is confirmed, symptomatic treatment should be administered. However, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and herbal medicine have fewer side effects and do not interfere with the child's normal growth and development. Finally, we wish your child a speedy recovery.
