Patient's question:
My nephew experienced oxygen deprivation during a natural birth, which led to cerebral palsy. His language, motor skills, and self-care abilities are significantly behind others. He's grown up, but he hasn't been sent to school yet. My sister-in-law is very worried, and I want to help her by learning about care methods.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Family care for children with cerebral palsy should pay attention to the following points:1. Safety: Children with cerebral palsy have delayed development and are slower in motor skills compared to their peers. They may have difficulty moving. Therefore, supervision is necessary. Avoid accidental injuries.
2. Indoor Environment: The indoor air should be fresh, with ample sunlight and good ventilation. The temperature should be comfortable. Regularly disinfect with ultraviolet radiation, and frequently mop the floor with disinfectant to ensure the cleanliness of the child with cerebral palsy.
3. Hygiene: Maintain good hygiene for the child with cerebral palsy. Bathe them regularly and change their clothes, bed sheets, and bedding promptly.
