Patient's question:
When my child was young, I noticed that he always liked to stare at one thing and didn't like to laugh. He also had a lot of drool for a while. Now he's over a year old, and he's still drooling, and he can't call "Mommy" or "Daddy." After checking, they said he had cerebral palsy. What should be paid attention to in the diet of children with cerebral palsy.Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy, also known as infantile cerebral palsy, is a congenital movement disorder and a syndrome of abnormal postures. The clinical manifestations of cerebral palsy vary, and the severity of the disease also varies. Severe cases may show symptoms within a few days after birth, characterized by difficulty sucking and muscle stiffness. Most cases are only discovered when family members attempt to care for them several months later. To date, there is no effective treatment for cerebral palsy, but appropriate measures can be taken to help children improve their motor function, such as physical therapy, rehabilitation training, medication, and surgical treatment. The types include spastic type, hyperkinetic type, athetoid type, dystonic type, and ataxic type. Physical therapy, rehabilitation training, and medication should be combined, with surgical treatment being performed when necessary. Daily diet is recommended to be light and nutritious for the child.
