Patient's question:
The child of my cousin was diagnosed with cerebral palsy right after being born. The doctor said the incidence rate of cerebral palsy is very high. Could you please tell me what characteristics do infants with cerebral palsy have?Doctor's answer:
Childhood cerebral palsy is a common disease with a high incidence rate. It is primarily characterized by symptoms such as irritability, poor milk tolerance, and difficulty swallowing. Additionally, it includes signs like clenched fists that persist after three months and an inability to lift the head beyond 100 days. The condition involves muscle weakness and stiffness in limbs. Prompt treatment for childhood cerebral palsy is essential to prevent missing the optimal treatment window. It is recommended to seek treatment at a formal hospital with a suitable treatment plan. Patients should cultivate healthy daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and engage in more physical exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
