What should be done for a 1.5-year-old child with cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. When my son was six months old, he couldn't lift his head up yet. He also didn't smile and had no reaction when called. So, I took him to the hospital for a check-up, where he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Now my child with cerebral palsy is 1.5 years old, standing on his toes, and cannot take steps! What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up. For children with cerebral palsy, it is not possible to completely cure it, but since the child is relatively young, there is still a chance in the future to control their own care abilities through active treatment. You can consider taking your child for acupuncture treatment and follow the guidance of the doctor. Under oral medication treatment, parents should also pay attention to providing the child with more nutrition, and some physical exercise can also be helpful.
