Patient's question:
My baby is a boy. He was only five days old when he was diagnosed with bleeding in his brain. How could a healthy baby get this disease? I'm so worried. What causes this condition? I want to ask if intracranial hemorrhage in babies can be infectious?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this parent. If there is bleeding in the baby's brain, it is usually caused by birth injuries and a lack of vitamin K. Typically, large hospitals will administer vitamin K1 to babies at birth to prevent brain bleeding. It could also be due to the baby's fontanel not closing, leading to increased intracranial pressure and resulting in brain bleeding. It is essential to follow the doctor's advice and seek timely treatment.
