Is there a possibility of sequelae from hypoxia in newborns now?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Diagnosed with severe hypoxia, irritability, seizures, and low muscle tone after birth, scoring 1 point; immediately placed in an incubator, oxygen supplementation, intravenous administration of intracranial pressure-reducing drugs, seizure control, and intravenous administration of cerebrolysin. No other abnormalities were observed afterward, and the patient was discharged 11 days later.
Current general condition: No other abnormalities, responds to his nickname, watches TV, can sit, can stand for short periods with support, can produce short sounds like "m" and "y," and has good milk and complementary feeding. Expressive facial expressions.
Other: Sleeps poorly at night, easily startled.
Auxiliary examinations: Brain CT scan performed a few days after birth.

Doctor's answer:

Based on your situation, it is necessary to combine the current physiological reflexes of the infant to determine if they are normal. The current treatment duration is still short, making it impossible to assess or determine whether there will be any sequelae. If the condition does not continue to develop, the possibility of recovery is still very high.
