Patient's question:
My neighbor's child is almost one year old now, but he still can't lift his head well, let alone sit or walk. It's said that he has cerebral palsy caused by oxygen deprivation in the womb during birth. Now, his family members feel very guilty about this and want to take him for treatment.Doctor's answer:
Hello: The treatment for cerebral palsy primarily focuses on rehabilitation training. At the appropriate time, surgical intervention may be used to create better conditions for recovery.In terms of diet, it's important to enhance nutrition by choosing high-protein foods. Protein is the foundation of intellectual activity and is closely related to brain memory and thinking. Foods rich in protein include milk, soy milk, eggs, yogurt, and meat.
It is recommended that the diet for cerebral palsy include foods high in vitamins. Vitamin A can strengthen the body's resistance and promote brain development. B vitamins can improve various metabolic functions of the body, enhance appetite, and vitamin D helps with calcium absorption and utilization.
