Patient's question:
When my child was born, he had abnormal symptoms while drinking milk. I didn't know if he was sick because he didn't cry or fuss, had weak sucking, and difficulty swallowing. He was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The symptoms are becoming more apparent now, and he is currently taking medication. What are the types of pediatric cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:

It is important to adopt a scientific approach. Treat the patient with patience and love, and persist in rehabilitation. If possible, the child should be sent to a regular rehabilitation center for comprehensive training.
