What should children with cerebral palsy eat and what precautions should be taken?

Patient's question:

The child was previously checked at the hospital and said to have cerebral palsy.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Cerebral palsy in children is generally manifested clinically as limb movement disorders, language disorders, auditory disorders, or intellectual developmental deficiencies. The treatment of cerebral palsy in the early stage is primarily focused on rehabilitation therapy. Once the child is over 3 years old, if they have spastic cerebral palsy with high muscle tone, surgery is often the best option to alleviate it. However, if the child has flaccid paralysis, ataxic cerebral palsy, or athetoid cerebral palsy, these are not currently indications for surgery, and rehabilitation exercises are the main treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used as an auxiliary treatment.
