Patient's question:
The child of my sister's family has been born for 10 days. We went to my sister's house today to visit the baby. My sister said she noticed that the baby's eyes were vacant, and he wouldn't smile even when he was being entertained. She felt that his eyes seemed a bit stiff and suspected it might be cerebral palsy. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of cerebral palsy in newborns under one month old?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to assist you: The child's reaction is relatively slow in the first 10 days. At this time, it is difficult to determine whether the child has cerebral palsy through some of their behaviors. If you suspect there is a problem with your child, it is recommended to take them to a pediatric department. You can only do a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head to check the development of the brain. If the brain development is normal, you can rest assured. It is recommended that you seek treatment in a professional hospital.
