What are the manifestations of a baby having cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

Now the child sometimes cries suddenly in a convulsive state, as if being pricked by a needle and is very afraid of people. When holding him upright, one of his small inner feet twists slightly, but he smiles when teased and talks to adults in baby talk. He also sleeps normally. Does this belong to the symptoms of cerebral palsy?

Doctor's answer:

The early symptoms of cerebral palsy in children vary depending on the cause and classification, but the early symptoms of cerebral palsy appear in the upper part of the child (within 6 months), the body is soft, spontaneous movement decreases, and the body is stiff: This is a symptom of muscle hypertension, which can be observed within a month. If it persists for more than 4 months, it can be diagnosed as cerebral palsy. Premature infants have a much better chance of recovery than those with single treatment cerebral palsy. This medication can only serve as an auxiliary therapy, and comprehensive therapies such as rehabilitation training and massage can achieve good results. This disease takes a long time to be effectively treated.
