Patient's question:
Newborn experiencing breathing difficulties, brain edema, and aspiration encephalopathy. Admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit on the day of birth. Diagnosed with mild brain damage. Hospitalized for 13 days. Follow-up examination revealed that the brain damage had healed. Month-old follow-up electroencephalogram was normal! The baby is easily startled during naps, twitching and struggling, dislikes twisting and turning, and makes humming sounds with their mouth!Doctor's answer:
Most children with a young age are prone to startle reflexes due to underdeveloped brain growth and development. Recommendations: You can appropriately tightly wrap the limbs. Additionally, environmental factors may also interfere with the child's deep sleep. Older children tend to transition into light sleep more easily.There are many treatment methods for respiratory distress in newborns. However, since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic approach may differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
