Patient's question:
The function of premature infants is better than that of normal infants, which suggests that we should give more love to premature infants. In addition to being very concerned about the child's physical health, are premature infants definitely mentally retarded?Doctor's answer:
In premature infants, the recurrence of intellectual disability or cerebral palsy is more common, but it cannot be generalized. As parents, one should implement early intervention for the child's intellectual and developmental growth. Only in this way can the prevention of intellectual disability in premature infants be achieved. Parents can perform a cranial CT and EEG on the newborn on the third day after birth and administer drugs to enhance the metabolism of brain cells in the newborn.
