Patient's question:
The child of my cousin was diagnosed with cerebral palsy right after birth. The doctor said the incidence rate of cerebral palsy is very high. How can I tell if the baby has cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy in children is a very common disease with a relatively high incidence rate. It is often discovered when the child is just born, showing abnormalities such as difficulties in sucking, restless sleep, and easy startles. At three months, the child’s hands are still clenched, unable to lift their eyes. Within six months, they will never jump, and their limbs will be stiff, with a vacant stare, and so on. The harm of this disease is significant. Currently, it is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a checkup to confirm the cause and then receive targeted treatment. Do not delay the best treatment time and enhance daily care. Patients should develop a regular routine and maintain a healthy lifestyle, persist in treatment, and follow a light diet with aerobic exercise, which can help boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
