Question
A 6-month-old baby has been diagnosed with underdeveloped brain tissue, despite normal hearing and facial expressions. However, the doctor points out that the brain tissue is not fully filled, with significant gaps. Yet, the baby’s actual performance seems better than the CT scan results. Parents are hoping to understand whether medication treatment is needed in this situation and how it should be carried out.
Answer
Underdeveloped brain tissue can lead to severe consequences, and if not addressed promptly, it may affect the child’s growth and cause a series of problems. Here are some recommended steps for parents to consider: first, teach the baby to learn feeding skills as soon as possible and reduce dependence on others for feeding. If the baby cannot ensure sufficient calorie intake, consider nasogastric tube feeding. When changing clothes, pay attention to the baby’s position, as sitting is usually more convenient. Additionally, personal hygiene should be conducted according to the baby’s age.
