Question
The child started to have a fever on September 4th, became unconscious on the 8th, and regained consciousness on the 14th. After 6 days of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and 10 days of acupuncture treatment, there was some improvement in the movement of the left hand, while the right hand and right foot still had limitations. Facial sensation has also returned. Is there a chance for the child’s complications to be completely cured? I hope to receive treatment suggestions and possible treatment plans.
Answer
The brain damage caused by bacterial meningitis is quite severe, and the child’s brain damage also shows significant tissue damage, which is irreversible. New nerve cells do not regenerate, so the main goal of treatment is to assist in recovery. The chance of full recovery is not high. Parents can only provide long-term training, invest a lot of effort, and help the child recover normal life as soon as possible, achieve self-care abilities, and strive to restore functional activities. Wishing the child a swift recovery.
