Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old this year, and recently he tends to faint easily and also falls asleep easily during the day. I don't know what reason makes him so abnormal. I heard from others that it might be dehydration and hypoxia encephalopathy. Hello, is it ischemic hypoxia encephalopathy?Doctor's answer:
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is highly prone to cause brain damage, possessing an extremely rare yet devastatingly dangerous disease. It is typically caused by perinatal respiratory distress. In mild cases, symptoms may include irritability or anorexia, while severe cases may exhibit significant suppression and coma. It is recommended that patients seek early medical diagnosis and actively cooperate with treatment, which can be effectively managed. In terms of diet, a light and simple food basis is primarily recommended.
