Patient's question:
Three years ago, a friend of mine had a baby boy. However, the baby was always weak while feeding, had difficulty swallowing, and had a very faint cry or intermittent screams. Now the baby is three years old, and he always walks weakly, often falls down. When his father calls him, he rarely responds. My friend is worried that he might have cerebral palsy.Doctor's answer:
Actually, there are many symptoms in early childhood, such as: "loose body, weak or tense limbs; difficulty starting to move, at an angle, little or excessive movement; weak sucking, difficulty swallowing or frequent paralysis during feeding, spitting up; guidance: the baby's mouth cannot close well, weak crying or explosive sharp cries; at 2-3 months, still not smiling, lifting the head, continuing to cry, clenched fingers, unable to open; at 4-5 months, unable to roll over; at 8 months, unable to sit, even unable to grasp, hold, or put hands in the mouth. Additionally, intellectual development is also behind that of peers of the same age. Pediatric cerebral palsy?" Hope this helps you. Wishing you good health!
