How much does it cost to treat cerebral palsy in children?

Patient's question:

When the baby was just born, it rarely cried or fussed, had little strength to suck milk, often tilted its head backward, had a vacant stare, and developed slowly. At this age, it still couldn't roll over or sit up, which made us very worried. We took the baby to the hospital for a check-up and found out that it was a cerebral palsy child.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the symptoms of cerebral palsy include:
1. Difficulty with breastfeeding. The baby may not suck after birth, have weak sucking ability, or refuse to breastfeed. They may become tired and weak after sucking, frequently experiencing choking, vomiting milk, and poor lip closure.
2. The child is very quiet after birth, with a weak cry or persistent crying.
3. Little spontaneous movement or immobility, or easy to arch their back. The body may be floppy, with muscle relaxation or stiffness, and they often escape from the swaddling.
4. The child is easily startled: convulsions, screaming, or restlessness.
Cerebral palsy can be cured with active treatment. The cost is not fixed, generally ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. It is recommended that patients go to a formal specialized hospital for examination and treatment.
