Question
After CT scans, it was found that the child’s white matter density in the frontal lobe is slightly low (CT value about 14HW), and the child has not started speaking or recognizing objects by the age of two. How should this condition of poor brain development be handled?
Answer
Poor brain development can lead to serious consequences, so timely remedial measures are crucial. It is recommended to refer to other parents’ practices, such as teaching the child to learn feeding behaviors to get rid of the dependence on others’ feeding as soon as possible. If the child’s calorie intake cannot be guaranteed, consider using nasogastric tube feeding. When dressing, pay attention to the child’s position, usually sitting down is more convenient for undressing. These measures can help promote the child’s growth and avoid a series of potential problems.
