Patient's question:
Three years ago, a friend of mine had a baby boy. However, the baby was always weak when feeding, had difficulty swallowing, and had a very faint cry or intermittent screams. Now the baby is three years old, and he always walks weakly, often falling down. When his father calls him, he rarely responds. My friend is worried that he might have cerebral palsy.Doctor's answer:
Actually, there are many symptoms in early childhood, such as: "loose body, weak or tense limbs; difficulty starting to move, angled movements, little or excessive movement; weak sucking, difficulty swallowing or frequent paralysis during feeding, vomiting milk; guidance: the baby's mouth cannot close properly, weak crying or explosive sharp cries; at 2-3 months, still not smiling, lifting the head, continuing to cry, clenched fingers, unable to open; at 4-5 months, unable to roll over; at 8 months, unable to sit, even unable to grasp, hold, or put hands in the mouth. Additionally, intellectual development is also behind the normal age of peers. Pediatric cerebral palsy?" Hope this helps you. Wishing you health!
