Patient's question:
The daughter of a colleague is one year old, but she is showing some abnormalities—she cannot feed herself or chew food, and she also cannot walk. The help she needs: Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of children with cerebral palsy and when do they usually start to manifest?Doctor's answer:
The daughter of my colleague is one year old this year. She cannot eat or chew by herself. She cannot walk. Sometimes her fists are clenched tightly. When she gets angry, she hits her head with her fists and teaches herself to walk. Her gait is very unstable and poor. I feel my legs are very weak. These are the symptoms of infantile cerebral palsy. Different types of cerebral palsy have different symptoms. It is recommended to seek timely diagnosis and treatment from a hospital.
