Symptoms of chronic encephalopathy?

summary

Newborns are born less than a month. At this time, infants and young children are basically in sleep within a week, eat less, excrete meconium, urinate, etc., so there will be a slight drop in weight, but they are the most common phenomenon, which is relatively normal. At the same time, the newborn will have a light perception reaction after birth, that is, when hearing sound, the head and eyes will have some reactions, with physiological strabismus or diplopia. But if the baby is sensitive to pain, sound and so on, it is slow to respond. What are the symptoms of chronic encephalopathy? Let's talk about it.

Symptoms of chronic encephalopathy?

1. Generally speaking, the olfactory development of newborns is still relatively poor, most of them have no way to smell the weak smell; Among them, tactile sense developed well in lip, tip of tongue, skin around mouth, eye, palm and sole; Sensitive to cold; They are insensitive to pain. But if the newborn is insensitive to these things, then it's important to pay attention to them.

2. After birth, when the skin temperature is maintained at 36-37 ℃, it can not only make the oxygen consumption lowest, but also ensure the normal metabolic function. However, if the body temperature is low, it should be noted that if the core (rectal) temperature is less than 35 ℃, it is usually manifested by hypothermia, cold body surface, low reaction and other symptoms.

3. There are many causes of neonatal slow response, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, sepsis, respiratory failure are the main causes of slow response, so slow response is probably caused by encephalopathy. It is suggested that parents and friends should always closely observe the reaction of the newborn within one month after birth, and make a timely diagnosis in case of discomfort.

matters needing attention

Slow response may be caused by encephalopathy, but there are still other factors. Because the newborn's resistance is relatively weak at birth, it is easy to be troubled by the disease. It is found that when the newborn has no response to light, sleepiness, no milk and other phenomena, it is best to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment at this time, otherwise it is not conducive to the child's later growth and development.
