Treatment For Child S Convulsions After Birth Asphyxia?
My nephew has birth Asphyxia when he was born. Back then the doctor told us that he will recover when he gets old. But now he is 12 year old. He is very easy to lose his temper, and cannot concentrate on his study. More strangely, sometimes he will convulse suddenly, and after 1 minute he can recover. I am not sure there is any possibility for him to recover from the birth asphyxia. Thanks!
