Patient's question:
My baby has been born for 6 days. Recently, I feel that my baby doesn't look normal. She doesn't react when I play with her, as if she might have cerebral palsy. What are the early signs of infant cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
The disease refers to a syndrome of postural and motor dysfunction caused by non-progressive brain damage during the stage of underdeveloped brain development within one month after birth. It is a common central nervous system disease syndrome in childhood. The lesion is located in the brain and affects all four limbs. It is often accompanied by symptoms such as intellectual disability, epilepsy, abnormal behavior, mental disorders, visual, auditory, and speech impairments. Treatment mainly includes oral or injectable drugs related to the condition, cranial nerve nutrition drugs, muscle relaxants, and blood-activating drugs. There is also a long-term rehabilitation therapy, and currently, there is no way to completely cure it.
