Patient's question:
The child has been born and is now 3 years old but still doesn't speak much. At the age of 5, they started walking after being trained with a baby walker. They have severe hand tremors, find it very difficult to use a spoon to eat, and walk unsteadily. I suspect the child has some issues, possibly cerebral palsy. Which department should I go to see? For congenital cerebral palsy, which department should I visit?Doctor's answer:
Hello! You can go to the Neurology Department. According to your description, the causes of congenital cerebral palsy are many, which may be due to brain damage caused by certain reasons during pregnancy, delivery, or in the early stages of infancy. It is recommended to go to the Cerebral Palsy Rehabilitation Department of a provincial tertiary hospital for further examination. Rehabilitation training can stimulate the brain. The earlier the treatment, the better the effect. Cerebral palsy is a condition caused by damage or injury to motor disorders and postural abnormalities resulting from brain damage or injury during birth or within one month after birth. Since the stage of brain disease has passed, the sequelae are diverse. Treatment methods vary.
