Patient's question:
Male, relatively overweight, 20 pounds, slow motor development, recently had his first health check-up, extremely poor mobility, only scored 63, intelligence 78, which is only slightly higher than the normal value of 75. Just casually read online that infants who frequently stare at their hands after six months may have cerebral palsy or developmental delays in intelligence. The baby, so far, besides the habit of staring at his hands, probably does it two or three times a day. Very worried. Could this be a case of cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Your child's condition is relatively weak, and whether there is a problem with cerebral palsy needs to be confirmed after a thorough examination. Recommendations:1. Consider undergoing a head CT or MRI to clarify the diagnosis and guide treatment.
2. Consider consulting a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. After the doctor performs a clear syndrome differentiation on the child's body, Chinese herbal medicine treatment can be administered.
3. Ensure the child receives the various nutrients needed for growth and development in a timely manner. Consider using probiotics, Zhuanggu chongji, and other supplements.
The above advice is for the question "A nine-month-old baby still loves staring at their hands—what could be the issue?" It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
