How should a 5-year-old child with cerebral palsy be handled?

Patient's question:

My sister and her husband have traveled all over Maoming. It's not even clear if there's a cure, let alone knowing what the illness is. We've exhausted all options, and now we're even afraid to give him medicine. My sister's husband has no choice but to find a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for acupuncture treatment.

Doctor's answer:

Hello. The child has cerebral palsy with low muscle tone. Cerebral palsy usually occurs before birth or in infancy, with causes including: birth injuries, neonatal jaundice, hypoxia; premature birth, etc. Cerebral palsy can lead to delayed motor development. If the child is still inactive and does not move much after 3 months of birth, and does not show crawling movements with hands and feet when prone; if the child's hands remain tense and clenched after 4-6 months of age. Symptoms such as hurried gait and scissor gait may also occur. The child can take Longna Kang Longna Kang to promote brain development, and there is hope that the child's speech, walking, and intelligence can return to normal levels.
