Patient's question:
My child was born feeling abnormal, and I don't know if he is sick. He doesn't cry or fuss, and it's difficult to feed him after birth. He has weak sucking ability and swallowing difficulties. He was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The symptoms are becoming more and more obvious now. He is currently taking medication, but it's not very effective. Can congenital cerebral palsy be cured?Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy, also known as CP, typically refers to a group of non-progressive motor disorders caused by abnormal brain development resulting from non-progressive brain damage or various causes from birth to one month after birth. Clinically, it is characterized by abnormal postures and muscle tone, muscle weakness, involuntary movements, and ataxia. It is often accompanied by sensory, cognitive, communication, behavioral disorders, and secondary skeletal muscle abnormalities, and may also involve seizures. Central motor disorders caused by various reasons after one month of birth are not considered cerebral palsy. It is recommended that children with cerebral palsy pay attention to their diet: choose easily digestible, nutritious, and high-protein foods. Protein is the foundation of brain memory and thinking, and has a close relationship with mental activities. Choose more high-vitamin foods. Vitamin A can enhance the body's resistance and promote brain development.
