How to treat hydrocephalus in children

Patient's question:

Patient is male, three and a half months old, and has been experiencing frequent trembling in his legs and feet. A week ago, at Kaifeng Children's Hospital, a CT scan revealed hydrocephalus in the outer part of the brain. The doctor prescribed a one-month course of supplements. After taking them for five days, the child developed a cough with phlegm, so the parents went to the clinic again for some cough medicine. Currently, the child is taking cough medicine while the supplements have been stopped for three days.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you seek treatment in the rehabilitation department, as it can at least be much better than the current situation. The intellectual and motor functions can basically approach normal levels. You need to have patience from your parents, as this condition takes a long time to treat.
We know that intellectual disability in children can cause significant harm. If treatment is not provided promptly or if the wrong methods are used, the condition can progress rapidly, causing great harm to the patient. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and seek timely treatment.
