    These are serious conditions that should be treated immediately. You/her parents should discuss this with her doctor (or get a second opinion from a different doctor) rather than asking for the course of treatment on the internet.

    Hypoxia means that the child is not getting enough oxygen. This can be life threatening.

    Cerebral edema means that there is swelling on the brain.

    The internet is the last place you need to be getting advice from. Get a second opinion from a live pediatrician if you are not comfortable with the advice given from your current doctor.

    And also her report says

    "MR imaging of brain reveals abnormal periventricular white matter
    hyperintensities and associated volume loss in bilateral
    temporo-parieto-occipital regions,with thinning and
    hyperintensity/gliosis of posterior body and splenium of
    corpus callosum,as described.
    Imaging findings could suggest sequelae of perinatal
    hypoxic ischemic insult/periventricular leukomalacia
    Clinical correlation is suggested."
