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 actually 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 respiratory distress during the perinatal period. In mild cases, irritability or anorexia may recur, while in severe cases, significant suppression and coma may occur. It is recommended that patients seek medical diagnosis as early as possible and actively cooperate with treatment, which can effectively manage the condition. In terms of diet, a light and simple food basis is primarily recommended.
