Patient's question:
My son has congenital cerebral palsy. When he was just born, there were no particularly strange symptoms, but after he was a month old, it gradually became apparent that he was different from his peers. He has a slight tilt and always drools, and his speech is unclear. Now that the child has grown up, he can't go to school and has been undergoing treatment. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Maintain proper posture. When the child's trunk control and feeding ability improve, you can systematically begin language training. Conversations should be at the same eye level as the child's. If the position is too high, the child may overstretch, which is beneficial for pronunciation. Timely personalized comprehensive treatment should be provided, such as functional muscle strength training, soft tissue traction, wearing orthotics, etc., to fully utilize the maximum recovery opportunity brought by reduced muscle tension. Four to six months after the injection, sputum will gradually increase, but the improvement in motor function usually does not disappear. If necessary, the injection can be repeated.
