Patient's question:
My child has recently been learning to move, and I noticed something was wrong. Later, after undergoing a CT scan at the hospital, the doctor said that my child was born with cerebral palsy. This has been causing me great pain, and I feel a sense of guilt towards my child. The only thing I can do is take care of my child with all my heart.Doctor's answer:
In the dietary aspects of children with cerebral palsy, it is important to follow a small amount of food intake with frequent meals, and consume 1-2 glasses of light salt water daily to replenish water and electrolytes. The diet should be high in calories, high in protein, high in fat, high in fiber, and balanced with a variety of vitamins and trace elements. Calcium, as well as vitamins A and D, should also be supplemented to prevent bone demineralization and porosity. The dietary characteristics should have four main features: soft, fine, fresh, and tender. The development of brain cells in infants and young children with cerebral palsy relies on proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.
