Patient's question:
At birth, the hearing screening did not pass. At 3 months, we had a hearing test in Renji Hospital in Shanghai, which showed 20 dB in the right ear and 40 dB in the left ear. My baby has always had a weak immune system. At 9 months, he was hospitalized for pneumonia, during which his liver function tests showed elevated ALT levels. At 10 months, he was hospitalized again after choking on milk and requiring emergency treatment. At 11 months, he was hospitalized again for a cold and pneumonia. At first, we did not notice anything unusual about our baby, except that he was always shorter than his peers. Now at 16 months, he is only 72 cm tall and weighs 9.5 kg, and he is also inattentive. We try to teach him things, but he doesn’t learn; he just plays with his own toys and ignores others when they call him. I don’t know what is wrong.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: The chance of cytomegalovirus causing severe lesions is not high unless it occurs during the organ formation stage of the child in the first three months of pregnancy. But if that were the case, you should have noticed it by the time of birth.Suggestions: Regarding the child's intellectual issues, consider the following:
1. Hypoxia during the neonatal period.
2. Down syndrome.
3. Phenylketonuria.
4. Hypothyroidism.
I don't know which conditions your child has been ruled out for.
