What to do about cerebral palsy in a 9-month-old child?

Patient's question:

Hello, my child is 9 months old. She doesn't respond to her name when others call her, but she passed the hearing test. Yesterday, I went to the women and children's hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it might be cerebral palsy.

Doctor's answer:

The main manifestations are mental and motor development, as well as sputum-type cerebral palsy: the most typical and common type. The main manifestation is quadriplegia acquired due to lower limb hernia paraplegia. Children with difficulties in walking and standing, the treatment for cerebral palsy includes two aspects: one is to treat the brain, and the other is to treat the disease. Since it is a sequelae, medication or surgery is usually not relied upon, and the main focus is on exercise. The brain's motor functions are being learned. Parents should try to teach their children to speak and interact. They should not be impatient. They should teach them over and over again. The brain cells of the deceased can always be trained to function. In this regard, medication, acupuncture, and physical therapy can only play a supporting role.
