Question

Suspecting that the baby has mild brain damage due to birth asphyxia, affecting sleep quality.

Answer

A history of birth asphyxia may lead to mild hypoxia, manifested as lack of sleepiness, difficulty in waking up, and seizures. Most symptoms are mild and usually do not result in neurological sequelae, and do not affect intellectual development. It is recommended to undergo a brain CT scan to confirm normal development. For infants with a history of asphyxia and hypoxia, the possibility of brain damage should be considered, and it is recommended to use early brain protective drugs and hyperbaric oxygen therapy to improve brain cell metabolism, and sufficient caution should be applied during the treatment process.
