Question
A newborn with pneumonia was admitted to the intensive care unit, and a couple of days ago, it was discovered that they have intracranial hemorrhage and are currently undergoing treatment. The doctor at the hospital described it as terrifying, saying it is currently mild but can worsen at any time. Can the baby be shaken?
Answer
No. Intracranial hemorrhage in newborns is generally treatable, with common causes possibly including birth trauma, poor coagulation function, and vitamin K1 deficiency, among others. For instance, the use of forceps during childbirth. It is recommended to be hospitalized and stay in the intensive care baby room for treatment, selecting medications based on the specific condition of the patient. Do not worry or become overly anxious; the recovery time typically takes around 2-3 weeks. Wishing for a speedy recovery,
