Patient's question:
The youngest son of my uncle has been a cerebral palsy patient since he was a child. He belongs to the type of congenital cerebral palsy. For this reason, the family has been quite troubled. Now, the aunt has become much more worn out because of this child. It's exhausting to have someone take care of him alone, and she is also worried that if she doesn't take good care of him, his condition might worsen. What should be paid attention to when caring for a cerebral palsy patient?Doctor's answer:
In the diet of children with cerebral palsy, it is important to eat less. Eat 1-2 times a day to replenish water and electrolytes. The diet should be high in calories, high in protein, high in fat, high in fiber, and a balanced diet of various vitamins and trace elements. Calcium and vitamins A and D should also be added to prevent bone demineralization and relaxation. The characteristics of the diet should have four features: rotten, delicate, fresh, and soft. The brain cells of infants with cerebral palsy are closely related to protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.
