Patient's question:
My sister's son was born on July 23rd. Today when I took him to the hospital, he couldn't lift his head when lying face down. The doctor said it might be due to oxygen deprivation, which could potentially cause cerebral palsy. The child is otherwise completely normal. Is this really the case? What kind of help do I need: Could oxygen deprivation cause cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Your sister's child cannot lift their head when in the prone position, which could be due to hypoxia. This is cerebral palsy. The child's other issues are normal. Early symptoms of cerebral palsy include excessive agitation and persistent crying, which can indicate brain disease.Hello, excessive irritability, persistent crying, difficulty falling asleep. Some parents even report, "This child cries all night." Approximately 30% of children with cerebral palsy exhibit severe "colic-like" symptoms within the first three months of life, characterized by sudden, intense crying.
2. Feeding difficulties, poor coordination of sucking and swallowing. Sometimes parents report, "They eat while milk leaks out of their mouth." Difficulty gaining weight.
