Question
What is the situation if a newborn’s CT value is below 18Hu after 4 days?
Answer
Hello, if a newborn undergoes a CT scan within 4 days of birth and the brain CT value is found to be below 18Hu, it may be related to hypoxia. At this point, it is recommended for parents to take their child to the hospital immediately for an assessment and examination by a professional doctor. In terms of treatment, methods such as massage and acupuncture can be considered, along with oral nutritional nerve medications. However, the effectiveness of treatment for this condition is often not very good, so regular follow-ups are necessary, and children should avoid contact with spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, parents should provide enough care and attention to help their children recover as soon as possible.
