Patient's question:
The son is still unsteady on his feet and moves slowly. When he speaks, he only utters words one by one and has unclear pronunciation. He is far behind his peers in development. He rarely laughs and has a vacant look. His intelligence is low. When taken to the hospital for examination, the doctor diagnosed him with cerebral palsy. What are the methods for treating pediatric cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
You can take him to the neurology department of the hospital for treatment. First, he will undergo tests and receive neurotrophic therapy. Generally, it is best to go to one of the three major hospitals in the area, and I recommend that you make an appointment with the rehabilitation department of a regular hospital for post-rehabilitation training. This is a slow process, so please ask the elderly person and their family to be patient and proceed gradually.Additionally, the most important thing is: When discharged, strictly follow the doctor's advice and continue with active medication. Take the prescribed medication on time and in the correct dosage, and avoid stopping, switching, increasing, decreasing, or making any other changes without medical guidance. Please strictly adhere to the doctor's recommendations for treatment. For example, patients with spastic cerebral palsy need to use massage for rehabilitation training. Parents should persistently massage their children to restore the flexibility of their legs, hands, or other limbs, in order to achieve the goal of recovery.
