Patient's question:
My daughter is 8 months old and has been diagnosed with mild hydrocephalus. The doctor suggested oxygen therapy, but I haven't heard of this treatment before and I'm not sure if it's feasible. Additionally, I'm concerned about whether this condition will affect her future development. Thank you for your response.Doctor's answer:
If brain cannot be treated in a timely manner, it will affect the intellectual development of children. If it can be detected early and treated promptly, intelligence can still return to normal. It is necessary to observe carefully. If the child exhibits the above symptoms, it is important to consult a doctor in a timely manner. Brain ultrasound or CT scans can help diagnose the condition and facilitate early treatment. It is also necessary to prevent intracranial infection and intracranial hemorrhage. If intracranial infection or intracranial hemorrhage occurs, it should be treated thoroughly to prevent meningitis from causing hydrocephalus. Currently, it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice for treatment.
