Patient's question:
My child is not very active. He doesn't cry or fuss easily like other children his age. He's too quiet. When other children are already walking, he couldn't even crawl yet. He also couldn't speak a few words. I took him to the hospital, and the doctor said he has cerebral palsy in children. How should cerebral palsy in children be cared for?Doctor's answer:
Many children with cerebral palsy have intellectual disabilities: approximately 1/4 of children with normal intelligence. About 1/2 have mild to moderate hypoxia. And about 1/4 have severe intellectual disabilities. The care of parents for their children mainly depends on the following aspects: 1. Skin care; Children with severe cerebral palsy who cannot maintain a sitting position will often lie in bed for long periods. The lateral position is suitable for children with various types of cerebral palsy. Daily care for cerebral palsy is necessary. To help the child turn over. Try to reduce daytime bed rest. Clean up urine and stool in a timely manner to maintain skin cleanliness and prevent acne or other infections. 2. Daily care; Daily living activities are the most basic activities that people maintain life. For example, eating, changing clothes, washing clothes, and using the toilet.
