Question
My child is less than 40 days old. When they were born, they were strangled for a while, and within half an hour, they were sent to the pediatric department. At that time, the child’s face and forehead turned purple, and there were no convulsions. Later, oxygen was administered, and the next day, Cerebral Activator was used for 10 days. Now they are being infused again. I want to ask if there’s anything wrong with the child?
Answer
Hello, according to your description, your child may have experienced asphyxia. It is necessary to examine the extent of brain damage. If it is mild, there usually will not be any sequelae. Ischemic hypoxic brain disease in newborns can be treated with gangliosides combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Generally, treatment according to the regimen will improve. If there is high muscle tone and ischemic hypoxic brain disease occurred at birth, it needs to be considered whether irreversible damage has been caused. In mild cases, there may be improvement, but in severe cases, recovery is not possible. It is recommended to treat according to symptoms, while using hyperbaric oxygen therapy and Cerebral Activator treatment. If the head CT scan result is mild and the situation is not very severe, it is recommended to actively carry out symptomatic treatment, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy and Cerebral Activator treatment.
