Patient's question:
The child of my friend suffered from oxygen deprivation during birth due to an excessively long labor. At birth, the doctor diagnosed the child with cerebral palsy. The child is quite healthy physically, but they don't cry or laugh much and mostly lie in bed all day. They are very obedient. Now that they are 5 years old, they still cannot walk.Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy, also known as CP, is a syndrome caused by non-progressive brain damage and developmental defects from conception to infancy. Cerebral palsy is a brain injury syndrome caused by multiple factors, primarily characterized by motor disorders, abnormal muscle tone, abnormal postures, and reflexes. At the same time, there are also intellectual disabilities, language disorders, visual and auditory impairments. Cerebral palsy is a disease of the central nervous system. It is very harmful to patients. Patients with cerebral palsy should seek medical attention at a regular hospital as soon as possible. Medication can only serve as supplementary treatment, while comprehensive treatments such as rehabilitation training and massage are important therapeutic methods and are essential.
