How Long Does Birth Asphyxia Take To Get Cured?

My son has 2 years old completed. He is born with birth asphyxia. Doctor said that, his brain functioning was slow. Now, we are doing physiotherapy, but now he is little bit okay. He can understand sometimes, but other time he is not responding to see anything. He is eating food well. He is not sitting and standing. How many years he will be like this. When he will cure doctor? Plz say any treatment given for my son.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
thanx for posting query.
Birth asphxia causes damage to the brain depending upon the severity of asphyxia. you have not mentioned the severity of asphyxia. otherwise generally mild asphxia children do well ,in moderate to severe asphyxia it is very difficult to predict how much time will it take for a child to recevor completely. But in you child 's case he seems to be doing well and recovering . i suggest you continue the physiotherapy and he will be fine and you can also see any speech therapist for your child.
