Patient's question:
My mom hasn't been able to cook recently and often says she has a headache and feels dizzy. The key is that I don't really know what's going on, but I just see that she isn't in good spirits. What tests are needed for infant cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Childhood cerebral palsy is often associated with hypoxia during intrauterine life or delivery, but it can also be caused by factors such as hemolytic jaundice. It generally manifests as motor disorders, difficulties with breastfeeding, stiffness in limbs, reduced motor activity, and the inability to sit at seven months of age. In some cases, there may also be mild intellectual disability, as well as symptoms like easily being startled and spasms. If these symptoms are observed, it is important to seek medical attention early.
