Patient's question:
My baby is a boy, and he was diagnosed with bleeding in his brain just five days after birth. How could a healthy baby get this condition? I'm so worried. What causes this disease? I want to ask if intracranial hemorrhage in babies can be infected?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this parent. If there is bleeding in the baby's brain, it is usually caused by birth injury or a lack of vitamin K. Typically, large hospitals will administer vitamin K1 to babies at birth to prevent brain bleeding. It could also be due to the baby's fontanel not closing, leading to increased intracranial pressure and resulting in brain bleeding. It is essential to follow medical advice and seek timely treatment.
