Patient's question:
My sister's son was born on July 23rd. Today, when I took him to the hospital, the child couldn't lift his head while lying face down. The doctor said it might be due to oxygen deprivation, which could potentially lead to cerebral palsy. The child is otherwise completely normal. Is that really the case?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is a great pleasure to assist you. The manifestations of infantile cerebral palsy include: whether there are difficulties in feeding during the neonatal period, whether there is excessive quietness, a small cry or persistent crying; whether there is a lack of spontaneous movement, hypotonia, general muscle relaxation, and a state of weakness; whether there is stiffness all over the body, a tendency to arch the back, and whether there are symptoms such as easy startle, convulsions, screaming, or restlessness; whether there are abnormal postures, etc.
