How is the best treatment effect for hydrocephalus in a 1-year-3-month-old child?

Patient's question:

My child was born on May 17, 2009. When they were born, the doctor told us that the child had hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. At the age of 3 months, the child began to have seizures. After diagnosis by the doctors, it was determined that the child had hydrocephalus. After 5 courses of neuroglandular treatment, the ventricles are still large. Now, what is the best treatment for this condition, and what is the likelihood of recovery after treatment?

Doctor's answer:

Suggest observing the effects of rehabilitation therapy. The effectiveness of medication is uncertain, primarily due to the focus on rehabilitation therapy. Long-term treatment is needed. Is there any neurological symptoms in the child's condition? Muscle tone is normal. If there are no issues with neurological development, consider that the child's condition is still manageable and there is a possibility of recovery.
