Patient's question:
Our downstairs neighbor has a child who was born with cerebral palsy. Currently, his intellectual and motor skills are much worse than those of his peers. When people come near, he can only laugh foolishly, and even walking is difficult for him.Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy in children is the abbreviation for cerebral palsy, referring to brain damage caused by various reasons (such as infection, bleeding, trauma, etc.) and non-progressive central motor dysfunction. Severe cases are accompanied by intellectual disability, epilepsy, limb spasms, and visual, auditory, and language dysfunction. It is mainly caused by congenital deficiency or postnatal malnutrition or functional disorders after illness, leading to blood deficiency, brain exhaustion, internal organ, muscle, and limb numbness, resulting in evidence loss. The brain is the house of the spirit, which can lead to intellectual disability, slow reaction, unclear speech, weak chewing, fluid leakage, limb weakness, inability to grasp soft objects, and inability to stand. Or it can be felt as heat poison damaging the brain, then consuming qi and yin, causing the brain and limbs as well as muscles to be on the verge of death, leading to the disease.
