Patient's question:
My little baby was born a few months ago, but recently I've noticed he cries constantly and has difficulty sucking while feeding, with muscle stiffness. So I immediately went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said it's cerebral palsy. I want to learn more about this disease.Doctor's answer:
The early symptoms of childhood cerebral palsy are not typical. Careful observation may lead to irritability, stimulation, sensitivity to external stimuli, difficulty eating, frequent crying, and then the child will gradually develop movement disorders and postural disorders, etc., which are cerebral palsy. Typical symptoms include the gradual increase in muscle tension in the child, difficulty extending the arms into sleeves when dressing, lack of active head lifting, difficulty turning over, difficulty standing, standing with toes, walking like scissors with both legs, and difficulty walking, which may cause obstacles. This situation requires close observation of the infant's clinical symptoms for early diagnosis.
