Patient's question:
When my son was just born, he was quite cute. Later, when he was over a year old, we tried to teach him how to walk, but he couldn't. Even when holding onto someone's hands, he couldn't walk properly. His feet would land on the toes, and he couldn't balance them flat. He couldn't crouch or walk independently, and he had poor balance. His left hand was weak. Later, we took him to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor diagnosed him with cerebral palsy.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the symptoms of cerebral palsy:1. Difficulty with feeding after birth, such as weak sucking ability and swallowing difficulties.
2. Lack of coordination, asymmetry, and few voluntary movements.
3. Delayed motor development. For example, a child aged 3–4 months cannot hold their head up while lying on their stomach; after 4 months, they still cannot use their forearms to support weight; they often clench their fists and cannot extend their hands to suck; by 6–7 months, they still cannot roll over or sit independently for a short period.
