Patient's question:
The child was diagnosed with cerebral palsy shortly after birth. Now she has given up her job to seek medical treatment for her son. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of cerebral palsy in children?Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive brain injury, primarily characterized by abnormal movements and intellectual disabilities. Sudden stiffness in some postures, softness in the head and neck, inability to lift the head, and dangling limbs. Developmental delays: learning to lift the head, sit, and use both hands, but later than peers, poor feeding: poor sucking and swallowing. The tongue often pushes milk and food, making it difficult to close the mouth. May cry, be irritable, have poor sleep, or be extremely quiet, sleep too much, or not smile within 3 months. For the child's current condition, it is strongly recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination and follow the doctor's advice to receive appropriate treatment.
