Question
My daughter was born on June 19, 2007, and is now just over seven months old. She was diagnosed with mild hydrocephalus at five and a half months. I would like to know if the current treatment methods are effective and if there are better treatment options. Should she continue with hyperbaric oxygen therapy? Are there any side effects to this treatment?
Answer
The child has mild brain development issues, which can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine to repair damaged brain cells. Longnaokang contains abundant nerve nutrients, small molecule polypeptides, and various amino acids, which can directly act on brain cells, promoting protein synthesis, combating cerebral cortex hypoxia, improving brain energy metabolism, and accelerating cerebral blood circulation. It also promotes the growth and development of central nervous system cells, repairs damaged central nervous system cells, inhibits apoptosis of central nervous system cells, and increases the number of central nervous system cells. Regarding hyperbaric oxygen therapy, it needs to be determined based on the child’s specific condition whether to continue with the treatment. Please consult with a doctor to understand the therapeutic effects and potential side effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the child.
