Question
My baby cried when he was born and also drank water, but after one hour, he wouldn’t wake up and kept sleeping. We had a CT scan done, and the doctor said it was a brain hemorrhage caused by hypoxia. We’ve undergone three treatment sessions, and the doctor says the muscle tone is still high, but the baby is now three months old, can roll over, and smiles, looking very healthy. I want to ask the doctor if we need to have another CT scan?
Answer
Hello, we should consider having another CT scan.Brain hemorrhages in the newborn period can easily lead to cerebral palsy. If the child’s brain hemorrhage is small, there may be persistent bleeding that can generally heal on its own. At the same time, we should also observe if the child has other symptoms. If the child is prone to drowsiness and coma, they need to go to the hospital for relevant checks and treatment of symptoms. Therefore, parents should pay attention to their child’s condition in daily life, avoid injuries, and take good care of them to prevent any sequelae.
