Patient's question:
At birth, the umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck. The doctor said there was a slight lack of oxygen to the brain. The next day, I consulted a neonatal doctor and they said everything was fine. Later, CT and echocardiogram showed no issues. Now, at 4 months and 20 days, she occasionally has slight hand tremors when excited. Could this be a condition? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be Parkinson's syndrome. Parkinson's disease, also known as tremor paralysis, is the most common degenerative disease of the central nervous system in middle-aged and elderly people. Tremor refers to the shaking or trembling of the head and limbs, while paralysis means that a part or all of the limbs cannot move voluntarily. It is related to the lack of dopamine in the brain's substantia nigra. It is recommended to use levodopa for treatment. We know that pediatric neurology diseases can cause significant harm to children. If they are not treated in time or if the treatment method is incorrect, the condition can progress rapidly, bringing great harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and take them for treatment in a timely manner.
