Question
A friend has given birth to a four-kilogram baby. Now, the baby is almost four months old and has gone to the hospital for a check-up, where it was said that the baby’s brain has not developed, there is brain atrophy, and cells may have necrotized. Can it be treated?
Answer
Poor brain development is a congenital abnormality and may also be caused by metabolic abnormalities. Currently, there is no specific treatment method in medicine. The treatment for this condition mainly involves rehabilitation training, which aims to improve the symptoms of the child as much as possible and enhance their quality of life. The treatment methods adopted in different regions may vary. For babies in such a situation, consideration can be given to administering intravenous drugs that nourish brain cells and hyperbaric oxygen therapy to promote the repair of brain cells. This can reduce brain damage.
