Question
A child with hydrocephalus is experiencing symptoms such as foolish laughter and incontinence of urine and feces. Diagnosed with hydrocephalus in 2004, the inquirer is asking for treatment methods.
Answer
It is recommended that the individual seek immediate medical diagnosis at a hospital, as a precise diagnosis cannot be made based on descriptions alone. Whether the child has a brain disease needs to be confirmed by a doctor after examination, and undue stress should not be applied before then. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be required. Additionally, for genetic metabolic diseases, parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and seek treatment early to prevent the disease from worsening and causing severe harm to the child.
