Patient's question:
My mother's high blood pressure led to a brain hemorrhage, with a cut on the middle of her head. Both sides of her brain had blood, with a bleeding volume of over 100 milliliters. Two holes were drilled into her head. She initially stayed in a regular ward for six days, but later had a persistent low-grade fever and was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU). She stayed in the ICU for about four or five days before being moved back to a regular ward. Currently, her condition is that she is conscious but unable to open her mouth, cannot move her body, and has a response when touched anywhere. When she opens her eyes, she does not recognize anyone and is not mentally aware. She has been in the hospital for 24 days now. When will she regain her mental awareness? How long until she can open her mouth and eat dinner?Doctor's answer:
This situation requires mutual cooperation with physical therapy, such as acupuncture and massage, to nourish for a period of time, and wait to see. After all, the local bleeding volume is quite large, and it controls the central nervous system locally, so this symptom may reappear. Currently, due to the incomplete disappearance of edema, recovery still needs to be carefully observed. At this time, it is necessary to follow medical advice to implement regular and careful examinations, and then cooperate with traditional Chinese massage and acupuncture to nourish and see.
