Previous treatment and outcomes: The baby was delivered using a vacuum extractor, which caused brain compression, and the condition has since been treated. We are seeking assistance: We hope to receive a detailed analysis of the condition.

Answer

Hello, based on the situation you described, if the baby showed signs of oxygen deficiency after birth, it is advisable to take the child to the pediatric department of the hospital for a check-up to confirm whether the muscle tone is normal. They are easily startled by sounds and this often correlates with calcium deficiency. It is recommended to supplement the baby with some cod liver oil to promote calcium absorption. During medication, also pay attention to whether there is indigestion or diarrhea. It is suggested to continue observation; if these conditions occur frequently, visit a regular hospital to see a doctor, complete relevant examinations, such as an EEG examination to determine the cause. Then proceed with treatment as instructed by the doctor.
