Patient's question:
The child's growth and development are slow. Up to now, they still cannot walk, even when sitting, they need to rely on something for support. Moreover, their motor responses are quite slow, and they cannot speak clearly, only able to say a few simple words. Additionally, they have poor coordination in their limbs and cannot control their bowel and bladder functions. For this situation, we are very worried and suspect it might be cerebral palsy.Doctor's answer:
The early symptoms of cerebral palsy in children are characterized by persistent crying and difficulty sleeping, sensitivity to noise and changes in posture, feeding and care difficulties, as well as developmental delays and abnormalities. These are often accompanied by intellectual disabilities, language, and visual cognitive impairments. As the child grows older, it gradually manifests as muscle stiffness, abnormal reflexes, postural abnormalities, and even muscle contractures, joint deformities and dislocations, as well as fractures.Advice: There are many treatment methods for cerebral palsy, but all aim to alleviate its symptoms. According to current medical science, cerebral palsy cannot be completely cured. It is necessary to be mentally prepared for this. The treatment of cerebral palsy requires perseverance. Parents and doctors should work closely together to develop training plans, evaluate the effectiveness of the training, and correct unreasonable training methods under the guidance of the doctor.
