Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they shake. Is a tight back muscle a sign of cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, high muscle tone does not necessarily indicate cerebral palsy. It needs to be comprehensively judged by combining other symptoms and diagnoses. High muscle tone is one of the symptoms of pediatric cerebral palsy. The current high muscle tone may be spastic cerebral palsy or rigidity-type cerebral palsy, because both types of cerebral palsy have obvious high muscle tone. According to the symptoms you mentioned, it is considered to be caused by neuralgia. Treatment should involve acupuncture and taking Xibiling.
