Patient's question:
The Children's Hospital for Hydrocephalus had experts say that my son wasn't in serious condition, just had some minor aftereffects, and that the better he gets older, the better he recovers. They told me not to hurry, that the older he gets, the better he recovers. I don't know what to do anymore. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hydrocephalus is a serious brain disease. It is usually caused by a viral infection of the brain. Hydrocephalus is not incurable. It is just important to get an early check-up and diagnosis for hydrocephalus. Then you can start treatment as soon as possible. When hydrocephalus is severe, using medication alone is difficult to eliminate it. At this time, surgery can be used in conjunction with medication to treat hydrocephalus. If hydrocephalus is discovered late, it may have already caused significant damage to brain cells. In this case, the difficulty of treatment will increase. It is recommended that you seek treatment as soon as possible.
