Patient's question:
Students found that the baby's head seemed a bit too large, and there were no abnormalities. It wasn't larger than an average baby by a star or half a star, and it kept crying. They took him to the doctor for a check-up, suspecting hydrocephalus. The students were really scared. How old was the baby, and how should the hydrocephalus be treated in the child?Doctor's answer:
Hydrocephalus has a significant impact on children's health. It requires timely and standardized treatment. It is mainly caused by the abnormal increase of cerebrospinal fluid due to various reasons. The treatment of hydrocephalus emphasizes individualization. That is, different treatment methods are selected based on the factors, types, and severity of the accumulation. Most require surgical treatment. It is recommended to give the baby medication in a timely manner, follow up regularly, pay attention to reasonable feeding, supplement with cod liver oil, and get appropriate sunlight exposure.
