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 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 that the brain wasn't fully developed and there was a small gap on top. The baby is developmentally delayed. How should we proceed?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 necessary to pay attention to the diet. When choosing food, try to eat more foods that are helpful for improving intelligence. For example, walnuts. There is also sesame.
