Patient's question:
My child was born, and it's a premature baby. It cries non-stop, and its breathing gradually weakens. The child's body is extremely weak. The doctor said it's caused by neonatal hypoxia. I want to ask, can neonatal brain hypoxia be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in newborns can be treated. Seek medical attention at a regular hospital for oxygen therapy. Maintain good emotional well-being in the child, reduce crying, and feed the child during breastfeeding. Avoid letting the child cry constantly. If crying is severe, there may be a recurrence of hypoxia. Pay attention to the child's personal hygiene to prevent colds. If there is ischemic and hypoxic encephalopathy, it is necessary to apply nutritional drugs to brain cells in a timely manner, combined with rehabilitation exercises. Currently, the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is weak, and there is also a potential risk of eye damage in children undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It may not be necessary to undergo this treatment.
