Patient's question:
My daughter was diagnosed with moderate hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy at birth and later transferred to pediatric treatment for a course of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). Currently, the little one eats and sleeps well, but she often wakes up crying from her sleep and sometimes doesn't sleep very soundly. Her limbs move like rowing. I would like to ask the experts, is this a sign of post-injury sequelae?Doctor's answer:
Hello, regarding the description of the root, in this case, it is still necessary to go to a specialized hospital for relevant examinations to clarify the diagnosis and understand the specific situation. This will allow for targeted treatment to achieve better therapeutic effects. Generally, for mild cases, after treatment, it is possible to recover to normal. However, for moderate to severe cases, it will take about a month, as most of these conditions can return to normal after treatment, while a small portion may leave sequelae (e.g., cerebral palsy, intellectual disability). Therefore, it should not be ignored, and it is necessary to regularly visit the pediatric neurorehabilitation department for developmental neurological examinations. Please take it seriously.
