Patient's question:
The baby was born on June 26th, and it's almost five months old now. The baby can't hold its head up straight and leans forward when sitting with support from an adult. Previously, the family just thought it was due to calcium deficiency and didn't pay much attention. But a few days ago, when the baby had a CT scan at the hospital, the doctor said there was underdevelopment inside and even a small gap on top, indicating poor development. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
It is mild brain developmental delay. At 5 months, the head still cannot be held upright. Chinese medicine can be used to promote the child's brain development.There are many foods in daily life that can affect the child's brain development. Therefore, it is also important to pay attention to the diet. When choosing food, try to eat more foods that are beneficial for improving intelligence. For example, walnuts. There is also sesame. It can provide the brain with omega-3, which enhances brain development. You can also eat more fish, which helps strengthen the activity of nerve cells. Additionally, you can consume whole grain products because they contain multiple vitamins, which can improve cognitive abilities.
