Patient's question:
At five and a half months, my daughter was diagnosed with mild hydrocephalus (brain ventricle accumulation). Is this treatment effective? Are there better treatments? Does my daughter need to continue with hyperbaric oxygen therapy? Does hyperbaric oxygen therapy have any side effects?Doctor's answer:
Hello, our research has found that Tongnao Zhushui Decoction has a significant effect on eliminating hydrocephalus. After the hydrocephalus is resolved, the child's condition will gradually improve. Congenital hydrocephalus is caused by congenital abnormalities in brain tissue development. The causes of hydrocephalus may include an imbalance between the secretion and absorption of cerebrospinal fluid, such as excessive production of cerebrospinal fluid or impaired absorption. Additionally, obstruction of the cerebrospinal fluid circulation pathway is also a major cause of congenital hydrocephalus.
