Question
A pregnant woman, due to poor health conditions and uncontrollable factors, resulted in premature birth. The newborn was diagnosed with neonatal hemorrhagic cerebral edema upon birth and has been treated in an incubator for half a month. Is there a possibility that neonatal hemorrhagic cerebral edema can heal on its own?
Answer
The possibility of spontaneous healing for neonatal hemorrhagic cerebral edema is low. This condition is commonly seen in infants within 7 to 10 days after birth, especially in premature babies. It is recommended to take appropriate treatment measures, including strengthening warming measures, necessary temperature regulation, fluid supplementation, infection control, and the use of antibiotics. If organ dysfunction occurs, symptomatic treatment should be carried out in a timely manner.
