How to treat cerebral palsy that hasn't improved

Patient's question:

My colleague's niece's son was born prematurely due to hypoxia, resulting in cerebral palsy. He cannot roll, crawl, or walk, and his right arm is not flexible, often exerting backward force. His mental state and appetite are normal. His sleep is also normal.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on experience, this situation is not too serious. First, if the child patient is hospitalized for treatment, the nurse should communicate with the child warmly during daily rounds, encouraging them. The parents should also frequently talk and chat with the patient, making them feel that the world has not abandoned them.
Second, when communicating with the child patient, it is important to use some methods, such as asking specific questions to gradually help the child understand, while always paying attention to their inner thoughts and supporting them in achieving their goals.
It is recommended that you maintain a normal diet for three meals a day and develop good daily routines. Avoid overworking, staying up late, or becoming overly exhausted.
