Patient's question:
The child is now five years old. I recently feel that he might have cerebral palsy, but I don't have much knowledge about it. I want to consult a doctor about what are the symptoms of pediatric cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
The causes of cerebral palsy are numerous, with the most common being prenatal factors, including genetic and chromosomal diseases, congenital infections, brain malformations or developmental abnormalities, fetal brain ischemia and hypoxia. Perinatal factors refer to brain injuries that occur within one week of birth, including brain edema, neonatal shock, brain hemorrhage, sepsis or central nervous system infections, as well as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.Advice: It is recommended that children with cerebral palsy choose nutrient-rich and easily digestible foods in their diet. Eat more lean meat, liver, eggs, fresh vegetables, and fruits. Gradually transition from liquid to semi-liquid and then to solid foods based on the development of the child's oral function to achieve reasonable feeding, regular and fixed amounts, and prevent malnutrition and digestive disorders.
