Question

A one-year-old child is suspected of having hydrocephalus, with an enlarged head. A preliminary diagnosis was made by the Baochi District Hospital in Tianjin. The parents are inquiring about the treatment methods and recommendations.

Answer

Hydrocephalus in children may be caused by factors such as constitution, encephalitis, or external forces. Treatment can include traditional Chinese medicine for blood circulation or medications to reduce intracranial pressure, and surgery may be considered if necessary. Parents should remain calm, take their child to a professional hospital for examination and treatment promptly, and regularly undergo routine checks and medication.
