Patient's question:
My partner experienced discomfort during her pregnancy and took some medication. Now that the child is almost two years old, they are not walking well and are much slower than their peers. After a hospital examination, it was found that the child suffers from cerebral palsy.Doctor's answer:
Some children with mild cerebral palsy can be basically or close to normal, but most children with cerebral palsy are shorter than their peers of the same age. Most children with cerebral palsy have developmental delays, loose teeth, are prone to licking, and suffer from various dental diseases. Their incidence rate is higher than that of normal children. Prolonged development seems to be delayed. Some children with cerebral palsy have obvious or inconsistent contractions of facial and tongue muscles. As a result, these children have difficulty chewing and swallowing, as well as difficulty closing their mouths and drooling.
