Question

My baby was born just one day ago, and the hospital examination showed that she has intracranial hemorrhage. I am very worried about her health, but I don’t know what to do. I would like to know the treatment principles for intracranial hemorrhage in newborns?

Answer

Intracranial hemorrhage in newborns, if the amount of bleeding is not excessive, is usually able to be gradually absorbed without causing significant harm to the baby. Currently, if intracranial hemorrhage is detected, intravenous fluid therapy should be administered, along with hemostatic medications, brain cell nourishing drugs, and oxygen therapy. It is also important to closely monitor the baby’s feeding and breathing conditions. A CT scan will be conducted a few days later to determine if there has been a reduction in bleeding, which would indicate an improvement in the condition.
