Patient's question:
The baby is almost ready to start kindergarten. Up to now, she still walks unsteadily. She falls over easily with just a slight push. Her movements are slow. Her speech is unclear. She doesn't smile much. Her gaze is vacant. Her intelligence is low. I am very worried. We took her to the hospital for check-ups and she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Can children with cerebral palsy be cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Cerebral palsy is indeed a terrible disease. What's even more frightening is that some hospitals have instilled a fantasy in parents. They know that in the 21st century, it is impossible to cure it, only to improve it. Yet, they still waste time on treatment. As a result, not only is a lot of money wasted, but the child not only does not fully recover, but also misses the age for compulsory education. Cerebral palsy can be treated. Both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine can treat it. Patients with cerebral palsy should pay attention to keeping warm. Their clothing should be soft and comfortable. Keep the room quiet and clean. Open the windows for ventilation at fixed times. Most patients with cerebral palsy suffer from chewing and swallowing difficulties. They often drool, severely affecting the first step of food digestion. It is recommended to go to a specialized hospital for a clear examination. Early treatment is advised to avoid delaying treatment and to get rid of the pain brought by the disease sooner.
