Question
A 54-day-old baby was diagnosed with minor subretinal hemorrhage at birth. After receiving two treatments of Unisom and Lysine in the hospital, a CT scan showed that the hemorrhage had absorbed, but there was widening of the subretinal space in both frontal areas. How should parents handle this situation?
Answer
Subretinal hemorrhage in infants is relatively common in clinical practice, especially during the process of normal delivery. Adults may experience headaches, while infants might show signs of poor mental state, feeding, and sleep issues. Generally, if the amount of hemorrhage is not significant, no special treatment is required. However, if there is a large amount of intracranial hemorrhage, medications such as mannitol and brain protein hydrolysates that nourish the brain nerves can be used. Subretinal hemorrhage usually absorbs quickly, so there is no need to worry excessively. The doctor will handle the situation appropriately based on the circumstances.
