Question

Doctor, hello. Since last week, I’ve noticed some signs of delayed cognitive development. I would like to ask, what symptoms might a child with hydrocephalus have?

Answer

What are the symptoms of delayed cognitive development in children with hydrocephalus? Cognition refers to the ability of individuals to recognize, understand objective things, and use their knowledge to solve problems, which also includes imagination and observation. There are many reasons for delayed cognitive development in babies: parents who are close relatives, mothers with high blood pressure or other diseases, premature babies, and so on. To develop a child’s intelligence, parents should communicate more with their children, cultivate their interests, and choose appropriate learning methods for them.
