Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to ask if my child's current head circumference of 48 cm indicates microcephaly, as I thought his head was quite big at birth and it hasn't changed since then. Now I feel his head has actually become smaller. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is necessary to take the child to the hospital for an examination, including a brain CT and a head MRI. If the results of the tests are normal, then this may not necessarily be abnormal, and it may gradually improve over time. The child should be given more high-quality protein-rich foods, and the diet should be comprehensive and diverse to avoid picky eating. If the tests show abnormalities, then targeted symptomatic treatment should be provided based on the results.
