Patient's question:
My child, who is now 2 years old, has always been in a kind of silly state, not speaking. I don't know what's wrong—it could be due to cerebral palsy or underdevelopment. They don't cry during the day or at night, and I'm worried.Doctor's answer:
The child suffers from cerebral palsy, which typically manifests before birth or during infancy. The causes include: birth injuries, neonatal jaundice, hypoxia; premature birth, etc. The main symptoms are increased muscle tone, difficulty with abduction, and in severe cases, muscle rigidity, spasms, and joint flexion. In mild cases, fine motor skills in the hands are poor, and the heels cannot touch the ground when walking. These patients often have language development and dysarthria, as well as strabismus. Approximately one-third of patients exhibit varying degrees of seizures and intellectual disabilities. Cerebral palsy leads to delayed motor development. If the child is not active or mobile after three months of birth, and shows no crawling movements when prone, or if the hands remain tightly clenched after four to six months of age, symptoms such as hurried gait or scissor gait may be observed. Many drugs cannot directly penetrate the blood-brain barrier and thus cannot produce direct therapeutic effects. Rehabilitation exercises can only improve the imitation ability of children with cerebral palsy and mild intellectual disabilities, as well as partially enhance motor skills. These methods, which only address symptoms rather than the root cause, cannot solve the fundamental problem. TCM Guilongnaokang can directly act on brain cells, promoting protein synthesis, combating cerebral cortex hypoxia, improving brain energy metabolism, and accelerating cerebral blood circulation. This promotes the growth and development of brain cells, offering hope for the child to regain normal levels of speech, walking, and intelligence. For those in need, direct consultation can be made "to its-consult."
