Can newborns with intracranial hemorrhage swim?

Patient's question:

After my child was born for a month, he stopped eating and became drowsy. The hospital examination revealed intracranial hemorrhage, and after a CT scan, it was determined that the moderate intracranial hemorrhage was caused by a lack of vitamin K. After being in the intensive care unit for two days, his condition was stabilized. I would like to ask if it is okay for the baby to swim with intracranial hemorrhage?

Doctor's answer:

Neonatal intracranial hemorrhage usually occurs in newborn infants. It is caused by factors such as birth trauma and neonatal asphyxia. This condition can lead to infant hemiplegia, hydrocephalus, and asphyxia. In severe cases, it may even result in death.
Facing such a serious condition, parents must seek early detection and early treatment. The following methods can be used to treat neonatal intracranial hemorrhage:
Administer vitamin K1 intramuscularly for three consecutive days.
Alternatively, transfusion of fresh plasma or whole blood can be chosen.
Vitamin C improves vascular permeability, which is beneficial for hemostasis.
Anticonvulsants help stop bleeding and prevent further hemorrhage.
