Question
After 13 hours of birth, the baby suffered from a large amount of intraventricular hemorrhage. After 25 days of hospitalization at the city hospital, the baby was discharged with a diagnosis of hydrocephalus and purulent meningitis. The parents want to know, is the problem serious after the baby’s intracranial hemorrhage discharge?
Answer
Hello, according to your description, intracranial hemorrhage in infants is a common type of brain damage during infancy, usually caused by hypoxia or birth trauma, which may lead to changes in consciousness, such as overexcitement, drowsiness, or coma. It is recommended that you take the baby back to the hospital for inpatient treatment, including controlling convulsions, lowering intracranial pressure, using drugs to restore brain cell function, stopping bleeding, and symptomatic treatment. Please closely monitor the baby’s condition and follow the professional guidance of the doctor.
