What complications can children with cerebral palsy have?

Patient's question:

A child was born with cerebral palsy, which should be congenital. However, their parents are unwilling to treat it, saying that this medical history cannot be treated. I want to know what complications can arise from pediatric cerebral palsy? Can you elaborate on it?

Doctor's answer:

Children with cerebral palsy are typically shorter in body length than normal children and suffer from malnutrition. They often have respiratory system diseases and are prone to respiratory infections.
Hearing impairment: 5-8%, commonly caused by kernicterus, affecting hands and feet.
