Question
My child was one month old when they started refusing to breastfeed and became drowsy. A hospital examination revealed intracranial hemorrhage, with a CT scan indicating moderate intracranial hemorrhage due to a lack of vitamin K. After being placed in the intensive care unit for two days, the condition was controlled. I want to ask, can a baby with intracranial hemorrhage swim?
Answer
Intracranial hemorrhage in newborns generally occurs in infants who have recently been born. It is often caused by conditions such as birth injuries or neonatal asphyxia. It can lead to infant paralysis, hydrocephalus, and asphyxia, and in severe cases, it can even result in death. In the face of such a serious condition, parents must detect and treat it early. Treatment for intracranial hemorrhage in newborns can include the following methods: choosing to administer vitamin K1 intramuscular injections for three consecutive days. Alternatively, transfusion of fresh plasma or whole blood can be considered. Vitamin C can improve vascular permeability, which is beneficial for hemostasis. Anticonvulsants are useful for hemostasis and preventing new hemorrhages.
