Patient's question:
Hello, my child was born with hypoxia, which caused cerebral palsy. Currently, they have epilepsy, and it is becoming more frequent. Previously, it occurred only once every six months, but recently, it has been happening every ten days or every three to forty days. During the episodes, their hands and feet twitch, and they lose consciousness for a few seconds, usually lasting more than a few minutes. Could you please ask the doctor if there is a treatment for this condition? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Early symptoms of cerebral palsy in children are characterized by persistent crying and difficulty falling asleep, sensitivity to noise and changes in posture, difficulties in feeding and care. During development, there may be delays and abnormalities in motor development, often accompanied by intellectual disabilities, language, and visual cognitive impairments. As the child grows older, abnormal muscle tone, reflexes, and posture become more apparent, and may even lead to muscle contractures, joint deformities and dislocations, fractures, and other issues. Treatment can involve various methods based on the abnormal motor posture and the underlying causes. It is recommended to follow medical advice for treatment.
