Patient's question:
My young nephew is already over three years old, but he can't even say "big big," always calling everyone "mom." The family took him for a check-up, and they said he has infantile cerebral palsy. What should we do about this condition?Doctor's answer:
Early symptoms of cerebral palsy in children vary due to different causes and classifications, but early symptoms typically appear in the first half of the child's life (within 6 months), characterized by muscle weakness and a reduction in spontaneous movement. Muscle stiffness: This is a symptom of hypertonia and can be observed as early as one month old. If it persists for more than 4 months, it can be diagnosed as cerebral palsy. Premature infants have a higher likelihood of this condition.Advice: Treatment can be based on the principle that abnormal motor postures can be corrected, using various biomechanical methods. Follow the doctor's advice for treatment.
