What should I do if my child has cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

I would like to ask that my child is 5 weeks old this year and suffers from a type of pediatric cerebral palsy. He is particularly pale, and there are no problems with walking, talking, or intelligence. I would like to ask if it is a good idea to give him some brain-stimulating medication every year. What kind of medication should I give him?

Doctor's answer:

Early symptoms of cerebral palsy in children are characterized by persistent crying and difficulty falling asleep, sensitivity to noise and changes in posture, difficulties in feeding and care. During development, motor developmental delays and abnormalities may occur, often accompanied by intellectual disabilities, language, and visual cognitive impairments. As the child grows older, muscle tone, reflexes, and posture abnormalities gradually become evident, and may even lead to muscle contractures, joint deformities and dislocations, fractures, and other conditions.
Advice: There are many treatment methods for cerebral palsy, but they are primarily aimed at alleviating the symptoms it brings. Currently, from a medical perspective, cerebral palsy cannot be completely cured, so it is important to be mentally prepared for this. Treating cerebral palsy requires persistence.
