Clinical manifestations of mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in newborns

Patient's question:

My child was born just two or three days ago. Yesterday, I took them for a check-up, and they were diagnosed with neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. I've been unable to believe it because the child has been very well-behaved since birth. Could you please tell me about the mild clinical manifestations of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy?

Doctor's answer:

The clinical manifestations of mild neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy are characterized by the occurrence of hypoxia. Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is generally classified into three types: mild, moderate, and severe. If it is mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, newborns often exhibit excessive excitement. Such as irritability, jaw and limb tremors. If it is moderate hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy may present with symptoms such as drowsiness, decreased muscle tone, and coma.
