What should I do about a small subarachnoid hemorrhage in a baby?

Patient's question:

My baby is now 54 days old. At birth, he was diagnosed with a small amount of subarachnoid hemorrhage. During hospital treatment, he received Dan and Lizhu. After two courses of treatment, a CT scan was performed. The results showed that the blood had absorbed, but there was widening of the subarachnoid space on both sides of the forehead. What should we do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Regarding the subarachnoid hemorrhage you mentioned. This is also common in clinical practice. It is more common in children born through vaginal delivery. At this time, adults primarily manifest with headaches, while children may exhibit poor mental state, poor appetite, and poor sleep. Generally, if the bleeding is only a small amount, no special treatment may be necessary. However, if the child has a larger amount of brain bleeding, small amounts of mannitol or neurotrophic brain protein hydrolysate can be used. Moreover, subarachnoid hemorrhage often absorbs quickly, so there is no need to worry too much. The doctor will handle it properly.
