Question
Can hypoxia-ischemic encephalopathy lead to epilepsy? My child has been experiencing this condition for a long time, and I am very worried. I fear it may worsen. Please give me some advice, doctor.
Answer
It may be related to congenital developmental abnormalities, brain ischemia, and other neurological factors. There is also a certain relationship with malnutrition, related to flu during pregnancy and genetic mutations. It is recommended to actively treat the condition, using drugs that nourish the nervous system, in addition to combining hyperbaric oxygen therapy and rehabilitation functional training. The treatment is carried out in 10-day sessions, with the best course being three sessions. There are no other good methods. With the above effective treatment, it can be very helpful. Nervous system nutritional pharmacology can reduce the occurrence of sequelae, and recovery exercise treatment is necessary to be self-reliant.
