Patient's question:
There are too many children born with cerebral palsy around me, and I myself am a woman planning to get pregnant, so I am particularly concerned about this issue. Many people only discover that their children have cerebral palsy after they are born, missing the best treatment window. Therefore, I am very interested in learning how to prevent it postpartum.What kind of help I need: How to prevent cerebral palsy in children postpartum, and early treatment?
Doctor's answer:
Prevent high fever seizures. High fever seizures are more common in infants and young children aged 6 months to 3 years old. If the duration of high fever seizures is prolonged, it can cause choking in children, leading to disordered brain function and severe damage to the nervous system and brain cells. Therefore, parents must pay close attention to the recurrence of high fever seizures to prevent the recurrence of infectious diseases. Due to the weakened immunity of newborns after childbirth, they are highly susceptible to infectious diseases. Moreover, newborns have delicate skin that is easily damaged, making it easy for bacteria and viruses to take advantage of the vulnerability, causing meningitis or encephalitis. Therefore, parents must protect the newborn's skin and keep it clean at all times.
