What should be done if a child has some intrauterine hypoxia at birth?

Patient's question:

When the child was born, there was some intrauterine hypoxia. Three days after birth, an MRI showed abnormalities in the left side of the brain. A month later, a follow-up examination showed that everything was normal. Now at 80 days, during a physical examination, the doctor said there was slightly high muscle tone. The child can now lift its head, but only for a short time each day, and I am very worried.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your symptom description, there should be no major issues. This can gradually recover, and it is usually recommended to give the baby some appropriate massage to help with the recovery. Typically, you can give the baby some calcium and pay attention to the baby's mental condition to see how it is. This baby should recover around four to five months. Check after one month. Wishing your baby good health.
