Patient's question:
My wife went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up last month. After the examination, the doctor told her that the fetus was a child with cerebral palsy. At that time, she had an abortion in the hospital because of the cerebral palsy. Due to the reason of cerebral palsy, now even friends don't dare to have children, worrying that the next one they carry might also be a child with cerebral palsy. How much does it cost to treat cerebral palsy well? How much does it cost to treat cerebral palsy in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of cerebral palsy mainly focuses on two aspects: one is to treat the child's head, and the other is to treat the sequelae after treatment. However, the treatment for the brain cannot rely on medication. Surgery is generally not acceptable, and the main approach is to let the child exercise. For sequelae, in fact, for the same reason, the brain is not easy to use, and it will be troublesome in the future. Perhaps the child may not perform well at the beginning of exercise, but parents must be patient and teach them these children over and over again. Cerebral palsy is a common disease in infants. Parents must do a good job in helping with rehabilitation. In the case of medication, they should support the child in walking and encourage them to walk to prevent muscle atrophy.
