Patient's question:
The baby was born on June 26th and is almost five months old. When lifting the head upright, it's unstable, and when sitting supported by an adult, the head leans forward. 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 slight gap at the top, indicating poor development. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
It is mild brain developmental disorder. 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, so it is also important to pay attention to diet. When choosing food, try to eat more foods that help improve intelligence, such as walnuts and sesame seeds. They can provide the brain with omega-3 fatty acids, which can enhance brain development. You can also eat more fish, which is helpful for strengthening the activity of nerve cells. Additionally, consuming whole grains is beneficial because they contain multiple vitamins, which can improve cognitive abilities.
