Patient's question:
The baby was born prematurely at 35 weeks and has been breastfed ever since. After that, the baby's body was still quite healthy, but when it came time to roll over, the baby still couldn't move, cried a lot, had a vacant stare, and couldn't sit either. It felt very strange. When taken to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor diagnosed the baby with cerebral palsy. Can pediatric cerebral palsy be treated?Doctor's answer:
The child suffers from infantile cerebral palsy, which typically develops before birth or during infancy. The main symptoms include increased muscle tone, difficulty with abduction, and in severe cases, muscle rigidity, contractures, and joint flexion. Rehabilitation exercises can only improve the imitation ability of children with cerebral palsy and mild intellectual disability, as well as enhance some motor skills. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can directly act on brain cells, promoting protein synthesis, combating cerebral cortex hypoxia, improving brain energy metabolism, and accelerating cerebral blood circulation. This is beneficial for promoting the growth and development of brain cells, and there is hope that the child's speech, walking, and intelligence can return to normal levels. In such cases, it is essential to cooperate with the treatment and maintain patience.
