Patient's question:
I have a classmate who, due to a long labor, didn't breathe when the child was born. The doctor worked on saving her for 4 hours before she started breathing again, and she finally survived. However, unfortunately, the child is now one year old and doesn't cry or fuss, nor does she seem to know how to ask for food. It seems like she has no strength at all, can't lift her head up, and also can't walk.Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy refers to a syndrome characterized by various postural and motor function disorders, resulting from non-progressive brain damage during the immature stage of brain development within the first month after birth. It is a common central nervous system disorder in childhood, affecting the brain and limbs, often accompanied by intellectual disabilities, epilepsy, behavioral abnormalities, mental disorders, and symptoms such as visual, auditory, and language impairments. Currently, achieving a complete cure for cerebral palsy remains challenging. However, with the right treatment methods, there is an opportunity to control and alleviate the condition. At present, for treating cerebral palsy, a brain disease, it is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine to relieve the patient's current condition. While cerebral palsy can be treated, recovery to a normal state is relatively difficult. Treatment can help patients further improve their recovery.
