Patient's question:
Recently, the child in Aiguo's family has shown some particularly abnormal behaviors. For example, he can't eat properly, often drools, speaks unclearly, frequently falls, and even has seizures. Everyone says this child has infantile cerebral palsy. Is that really the case?Doctor's answer:
According to your detailed description, the child's symptoms are typical signs of cerebral palsy in children. If you are uncomfortable, you can take the child to a regular hospital for examination. Here, I will explain the symptoms of children with cerebral palsy:1. Poor weight gain and weak breastfeeding ability.
2. Physical weakness, reduced spontaneous movement, which is a symptom of low muscle tone. This can be observed within one month. If it persists for more than 4 months, it can be diagnosed as severe brain damage, intellectual disability, or a muscle system disease.
3. Fixed posture: Often caused by brain damage leading to abnormal muscle tone, such as arched back, frog position, or inverted U-shaped posture. This can be observed within one month after birth.
