How to deal with drooling in children with cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

My child is now 6 years old and cannot speak a single word. She didn't start walking until she was 2 years old, and her neck sometimes tilts to one side. When adults tell her to straighten up, she does. The most troublesome thing is that she loves drooling! If her tonsils get inflamed, she drools even more!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the situation you described, the main consideration is developmental dysplasia of the nervous system. This condition is abnormal, and it is best to go to a regular hospital's pediatric department today for an MRI and EEG to check the development of the brain. If it is not normal, timely treatment is still needed to avoid affecting normal life.
