Patient's question:
A few days ago, I noticed that the baby always cried and fussed at night. His tiny hands were clenched tightly. The child is now six months old. When lifting the baby to have his two feet on an adult's shoulders, his left foot wobbled unevenly. Some effort was uneven. I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said it was cerebral palsy. How to identify infant cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of cerebral palsy in children are typically as follows: Children may have difficulty feeding after birth, such as weak sucking, swallowing difficulties, and poor oral skills. Children often cry less, move less, have weak cries, and are too quiet. Alternatively, they may cry, be fussy, easily startled, or repeatedly lightly tap; they may exhibit uncoordinated movements, asymmetrical movements, and random movements; abnormal muscle tone, abnormal postures, and movement patterns. The key to treating cerebral palsy in children is early detection and early treatment. Pediatric cerebral palsy is primarily caused by brain neuron damage and death due to hypoxia and ischemia before and after birth. Therefore, the treatment of cerebral palsy mainly focuses on repair and regeneration.
