How is mild hydrocephalus in children best treated?

Patient's question:

The baby was a bit affected by amniotic fluid at birth. We have visited many hospitals, but the results haven't been very good. The treatment has never been completely effective. We have also bought some traditional Chinese medicine for the baby, but it hasn't helped much. In recent days, it seems to have worsened, and the baby's intelligence also seems to have declined. How should this be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Because the child's physical age is still relatively young, treatment should be started as early as possible, and it is essential to consider giving the child a thorough treatment. Conservative treatment is only suitable for mild extracranial hydrocephalus and temporary control of hydrocephalus development before surgery, and it cannot achieve the goal of a complete cure. Most children with hydrocephalus should undergo surgical treatment under the guidance of a specialist doctor. Currently, surgical techniques for hydrocephalus have become relatively mature, and the therapeutic effect is also quite good.
