Patient's question:
The baby just turned one month old. Today, the baby's head was pressed by someone, and she started vomiting. She has been crying non-stop, which must be very uncomfortable. I have tried various methods that I know, but they don't seem to provide much relief for the baby's condition. What are the symptoms of intracranial hemorrhage in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Intracranial hemorrhage in newborns is a common type of brain injury during the neonatal period. It is caused by hypoxia or birth trauma. Premature infants have a higher incidence rate. It typically appears within 1-2 days after birth. Common symptoms include changes in mental status, such as irritability, excessive excitement, or apathy, difficulty waking up, and coma. Eye symptoms may include staring, difficulty with upward gaze, and nystagmus. The treatment principles include supportive care, seizure control, intracranial pressure reduction, medication to restore brain cell function, hemostasis, and symptomatic treatment.
