Patient's question:
Dear Professor Li Zizhong,Please help this poor mother. Thank you! I am typing this message while crying. I know my son can be saved! My son is now 20 months old and constantly drools. On May 23, he underwent auditory evoked potential and brain CT scans at Nanjing Children's Hospital. The results showed delayed brain development and issues with neural central conduction. Since the hearing data consists of professional terms, I only remember that after conversion, it was 65 dB HL in the left ear and 55 dB HL in the right ear. The CT scan revealed signs of enlarged ventricles, and the doctor initially diagnosed intellectual disability, recommending hearing aids. We have observed our child and noticed that compared to his peers, he still cannot speak.
Doctor's answer:
Hello! It is recommended to use a hearing aid, as auditory stimulation is beneficial for brain recovery. You can try the oral liquid you mentioned, or take medications like Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) or gangliosides to promote brain recovery. You can consult the neurology department at Beijing Children's Hospital. It's best to wait for the reply from the doctor you have scheduled to see what their opinion is.
