Patient's question:
My child has been alive for 4 months since birth. Sometimes they are very quiet, and sometimes they are very fussy, and feeding is difficult. Some people say this is a sign of cerebral palsy. I want to know what are the symptoms of cerebral palsy in infants?Doctor's answer:
Infants with cerebral palsy mainly show no response, with poor language and intellectual development. Their fingers and upper and lower limbs may become stiff. When standing, their legs are often straight and crossed, their hands are usually clenched into fists, and their thumbs are closed. There are many types of cerebral palsy, and each child's symptoms are different. The principle of treating cerebral palsy is early detection, which makes it easier to receive better treatment. The manifestations of cerebral palsy in infancy are not obvious, so many parents fail to notice it.
