Question
Does a newborn with hydrocephalus 1.2 need treatment? The patient is a male, 20 days old, and in good condition.
Answer
Early diuretic and dehydration treatment should be considered. If the head circumference significantly increases and the thickness of the cerebral cortex exceeds 1 millimeter, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. Children are vulnerable to newborn diseases, so mothers must take their children to the hospital for immediate treatment and avoid blindly using medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to provide adequate care and attention to their children and to do everything possible to help them receive timely treatment for their diseases.
