Patient's question:
I just had a child two years ago. The child doesn't know how it happened, but all the children of the same age can already walk on their own, while my child still needs to hold onto things to walk and sways unsteadily. Their intelligence is also much lower than that of children of the same age. After some research, it turned out to be cerebral palsy in children. What should we do now? Our whole family is terrified.Doctor's answer:
Just the child was born a year ago, and the child still needs to walk and sway. The intelligence is greatly different from that of peers. After examination, it was found to be a case of infantile cerebral palsy. The guidance is that infantile cerebral palsy can be treated. While undergoing treatment, more attention should be paid to care. Cerebral palsy is a long and slow process, and family members are prone to anxiety, sadness, or even wanting to give up treatment. Positive and effective psychological counseling can enhance confidence in treating the disease and patiently explain that cerebral palsy can achieve recovery goals through physical therapy, rehabilitation, medication, surgical treatment, and other appropriate measures.
