How should cerebral palsy patients be treated for the best results?

Patient's question:

My child is now three years old, but he can't even walk steadily. Since he was young, I've felt that he was developing late. When he was just born, he cried very little, but now he can't even speak. I've taken him to the hospital for check-ups, and they said that my child suffers from cerebral palsy.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the treatment for children with cerebral palsy is mainly rehabilitation therapy, which is a longer process and cannot be solved by a single treatment. It is necessary to persist in long-term rehabilitation therapy. For the child, language training, functional training, and improving walking ability can be done. Cerebral palsy patients should pay attention to keeping warm, and their clothes should be soft and comfortable. Keep the room quiet and clean, open the windows for ventilation at regular intervals. Most cerebral palsy patients suffer from chewing and swallowing difficulties, often drooling, which severely affects the first step of food digestion.
