Patient's question:
At 5 months, a neurological and behavioral assessment revealed that the child had delayed mental and motor development, was unable to reach out and grasp objects, but would smile. At 8 and a half months, the child only turned around when called by name. The child was slightly soft and had loose muscles. From birth to 8 and a half months, the child was fed with formula, but the stools were not well-formed. Now, drinking Si Jun Zi Decoction daily has improved the condition slightly. At 11 and a half months, the child learned to say "goodbye" and "hello." Now at one year old, the child does not follow instructions well.Doctor's answer:
It is difficult to cure, and treatment improves motor function by increasing joint mobility, adjusting muscle tone, and enhancing motor control, coordination, strength, and endurance, thereby improving self-care abilities. Additionally, medication can be used, with commonly prescribed drugs including neurotrophic agents for the brain and muscle relaxants. Medication should only be used when necessary. We know that pediatric neurology diseases can cause significant harm to children. If left untreated or if the treatment method is incorrect, the condition can progress rapidly, posing great harm to young children. Therefore, it is crucial to seek timely and professional medical treatment at a qualified hospital.
