3. Epidemic meningitis: eight months the child has hydrocephalus may also be epidemiological meningitis caused by capillary dilatation. It is necessary to use injectable penicillin sodium for anti-pathogen treatment, compound mannitol injection for cranial pressure reduction treatment.
It is recommended that once the parents found that the eight-month-old child has cerebral effusion, timely medical improvement of the relevant examination, standardized treatment. In addition, the above drugs should be used under the guidance of doctors, do not blindly use drugs.
