How long can children with cerebral palsy live?

Patient's question:

My baby is a patient with cerebral palsy. He was born at seven months. He developed cerebral palsy due to oxygen deprivation during premature birth. I accidentally twisted my ankle while pregnant and gave birth at seven months. My child has had cerebral palsy since he was a child. He doesn't cry or laugh. His limb movements are completely uncoordinated. How long can a child with cerebral palsy live?

Doctor's answer:

Children with cerebral palsy generally have no significant difference in life expectancy compared to normal people, as long as they do not have other complications. However, their quality of life is relatively poorer compared to normal people. Cerebral palsy is not much related to life. Active treatment and exercise rehabilitation training can help improve the baby's condition. A three-year-old child with cerebral palsy is still very likely to recover. But it is a long process. It needs to be carried out through many methods. For example, hyperbaric oxygen wax therapy, as well as long-term rehabilitation training and rehabilitation. Do not give up on rehabilitation and rehabilitation. If you give up, there is no hope.
