Patient's question:
My cousin had a difficult delivery when giving birth, and the baby suffered from some oxygen deprivation. At the time, the doctor recommended hospital rehabilitation treatment due to concerns it might cause cerebral palsy. The family members thought it was nothing, but now the child is developmentally delayed, has unclear speech, and poor fine motor skills.Doctor's answer:
1. The child was very quiet shortly after birth. This child was clumsy, had little movement, and cried less, with low levels of crying. Of course, some children may be more active and fussy, easily angered, often startled and frightened. Symptoms When the child is in an abnormal state, parents should be vigilant. Pay attention to whether the child has cerebral palsy. Take the child to the hospital as soon as possible.2. If the child is weak after birth while sucking, has difficulty swallowing, and parents find it hard to feed the child, some children may frequently dribble milk. As parents, you should pay attention. These may be symptoms of cerebral palsy in children.
3. Delayed physical development is a symptom of pediatric cerebral palsy. Children with cerebral palsy have lower intellectual, physical, and other developmental abilities compared to their peers. The current condition of the child is best to undergo a check-up and follow the doctor's advice for treatment.
