Question
The baby cried continuously after birth and had a blue face the next day. After treatment and a CT scan, it was diagnosed with mild neonatal hypoxia-ischemic encephalopathy. What are the symptoms of neonatal hypoxia-ischemic encephalopathy?
Answer
Based on the situation you described, the baby has hypoxia-ischemic encephalopathy. This condition is often caused by hypoxia, such as abnormal umbilical cord, placental abnormalities, amniotic fluid abnormalities, or chronic intrauterine hypoxia due to high blood pressure, diabetes, anemia during pregnancy. It is recommended not to worry too much and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment. Mild brain diseases generally have a good prognosis. If vitamin D is not supplemented, it is suggested to take some cod liver oil and some infant formula to promote calcium absorption.
