Patient's question:
My child is 3 months old. They were diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth, which is said to be caused by oxygen deprivation. Right now, they cannot lift their head up and also have difficulty eating. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the manifestations of cerebral palsy in a 3-month-old child will not be very typical. Some may show symptoms such as sticking out their tongues, not following objects with their eyes, indifference to people and things, and a lack of smiling. Others may exhibit symptoms such as poor head control and slower growth and development. If cerebral palsy is detected, treatment should be started as soon as possible. For patients with cerebral palsy, the focus should be on correcting motor disorders and abnormal postures to restore normal motor development. Various measures such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and surgical therapy should be adopted for correction and training.
