Mothers should not only take care of their babies' daily lives, but also pay close attention to their health at all times. If it is found that the baby's mental state is not very good, and they appear very irritable, and even have headaches and vomiting, it is likely caused by hydrocephalus in the baby. What if the baby has mild hydrocephalus?
If the examination has confirmed that the baby has mild hydrocephalus, as long as the baby's head has not significantly increased in size and their mental state is also okay, then there is no need to deal with it temporarily, because mild hydrocephalus can usually be slowly absorbed by itself. Go for a re examination after a while, and if the accumulated water decreases or even disappears, then there will be no problem. But it is necessary to combine the doctor's opinion and not make unilateral claims, so as not to delay the baby's condition.
If the baby's hydrocephalus is chronic and does not meet the physical conditions for surgery, dehydration treatment can be given to the baby under the guidance of a doctor. If the condition improves significantly after dehydration treatment, don't worry, the baby will recover soon.
If the baby's condition worsens after the above methods, the mother must not take it lightly and must promptly perform surgical drainage treatment on the baby. If the condition continues to develop unchecked, it may affect the baby's intelligence. Moreover, hydrocephalus is one of the symptoms of cerebral palsy, and if left untreated, it can also affect the baby's future physical movements.
