Patient's question:
My child has been crying non-stop since birth. The next day during the day, I noticed their face was bluish, and treatment began. On the third day, a CT scan was performed, and they were diagnosed with mild neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. What are the symptoms of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the baby has hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. This condition is primarily caused by hypoxia, such as abnormal umbilical cord, placental abnormalities, or amniotic fluid abnormalities. Various factors during pregnancy, such as maternal hypertension, diabetes, anemia, and chronic hypoxia in the womb, can also lead to this condition. It is recommended not to worry too much and to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment. Mild encephalopathy generally has a good prognosis. If vitamin D supplementation has not been provided, it is advisable to take some cod liver oil and children's supplements to promote calcium absorption.
