Patient's question:
I have a classmate who, due to a long labor, didn't breathe when the child was born. The doctor resuscitated them for four hours before they started breathing, and they finally survived. They can't sit up and can't walk either. What are the symptoms of cerebral palsy in premature babies?Doctor's answer:
Hello, children with cerebral palsy may have difficulties with feeding, such as not being able to suck after birth, weak sucking ability, or rejecting milk, or feeling tired and weak after sucking; Have they shown excessive quietness, weak crying, or persistent crying; Have they shown fewer spontaneous movements, low muscle tone, general relaxation, and a state of weakness; Children with cerebral palsy may appear stiff all over, prone to arching their back, with increased muscle tone, often crawling out of their swaddling, with their head and back bent, sometimes leaning to one side, and their lower limbs in a stiff, extended position; Have they shown signs of being easily startled, convulsions, screaming, or restlessness; Have they shown abnormal postures, such as adduction of the upper limbs, internal rotation, or clenched fists. The treatment of cerebral palsy is a long process, and at this time, children most need the care and love of their families, so it is recommended that you can carry out drug treatment while also undergoing pediatric physical therapy, which will also be beneficial for the child's future intellectual development.
