Question
The baby’s hearing and facial expressions are normal, but the doctor’s diagnosis shows that the intracranial brain tissue has not fully developed, with significant gaps. However, the child’s actual performance is better than what is shown in the CT images. In this situation, is medication treatment necessary? How should it be treated?
Answer
Underdeveloped brain development can lead to serious consequences, and if not addressed promptly, it may affect the child’s growth and subsequent issues. It is recommended to refer to other parents’ practices: train the child to learn eating actions and encourage independent feeding as soon as possible. If the child cannot intake enough calories, consider nasogastric tube feeding. Conduct personal hygiene training according to the child’s age to cultivate habits of regular bowel movements. As the child grows older, teach them to signal caregivers before defecating and learn to use toilet paper, put on and take off pants, and other self-care actions.
