Patient's question:
My friend's son is 41 days old today. A few weeks ago, he could briefly lift his head when placed in a prone position, and now he can hold his head up for 1-2 minutes. When held upright, he prefers to tilt his head backward rather than rest it on my shoulder. Some people say this is a sign of "kyphoscoliosis," which is one of the symptoms of cerebral palsy. Is that correct?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal period: Is it difficult to breastfeed, such as the child not suckling after sucking, weak sucking or rejecting milk or feeling tired after sucking; whether it shows excessive behavior, crying or persistent crying; whether there is less spontaneous movement, low muscle tone, and overall softness and weakness; whether it is stiff, strong body, enhanced muscle tone, often pulling out from phlegm, head extension, sometimes head tilting to one side, legs straight; surprise, convulsions, screams or restlessness; whether there are abnormal postures such as adduction, internal rotation, clenched fists, etc. The above is advice on "What are the symptoms of neonatal cerebral palsy." Hope it helps you, wish you health!
