Question
My baby is a boy, and he was only five days old when we found out he had bleeding in his brain. How did my healthy baby get this disease? I am really worried. What causes this condition? I want to ask if a baby’s intracranial hemorrhage can lead to infection?
Answer
Intracranial hemorrhage is typically caused by birth injuries or a deficiency of vitamin K. Major hospitals inject vitamin K1 into newborns at birth to prevent intracranial hemorrhage. Additionally, intracranial hemorrhage may occur due to increased intracranial pressure when the baby’s fontanelle has not closed properly. It is crucial to follow medical instructions for timely treatment to prevent infection.
