What should I do if an 8-month-old child cannot roll over?

Patient's question:

When my child was four days old, we noticed jaundice. By the fifth day, the child refused to eat or drink and we quickly took them to the hospital for a check-up. The bilirubin level in the skin test was around 19. When discharged, it had dropped to over 10. Now that the child is eight months old, they still can't sit up straight and often lean backward. They also need adult assistance to roll over and cannot crawl. Additionally, the child often hooks their right hand backward.

Doctor's answer:

The baby may have sequelae of hypoxic encephalopathy, and it is recommended to undergo a brain CT scan for confirmation. Pay attention to actively using nutritional drugs for brain nerve treatment. We know that cerebral palsy in children can cause significant harm to them. If it is not treated in time or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression is rapid, and it can bring great harm to the child. Therefore, it is important to seek professional medical treatment promptly in a specialized hospital, as this is the key.
