Patient's question:
At night, it's easy to startle awake. At three months old, he clenches his fists and refuses to open them, crying non-stop. He has difficulty feeding and sleeping. The doctor suspects cerebral palsy. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Cerebral palsy in children is generally manifested clinically as limb movement disorders, language disorders, auditory disorders, or intellectual developmental deficiencies. The treatment of cerebral palsy in the early stage is primarily focused on rehabilitation therapy. Once the child is over 3 years old, if they have spastic cerebral palsy with high muscle tone, surgery is often the best way to alleviate it. However, if the child has flaccid cerebral palsy, ataxic cerebral palsy, or athetoid cerebral palsy, these are not indications for surgery at present, and the main treatment should be rehabilitation exercises. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used as an auxiliary treatment.
