Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, my good friend had a baby. Last week, I visited her while I was on leave. The baby looked chubby and very cute, but it didn't move much and didn't cry much either. The doctor said it was suffering from cerebral palsy.Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy in children is a widespread brain injury disease. Under normal circumstances, children with cerebral palsy may have lower intelligence and poorer physical health compared to the general population. Since cerebral palsy in children is a disease that occurs in infants, it is more difficult to detect early, which also delays the best time for children to receive treatment for cerebral palsy. Therefore, family members should observe more closely for children who react slowly, and: the early manifestations of intellectual impairment in children with cerebral palsy are typically considered as no response at 4 months. At 6 months, if the child does not respond to their name, it can be diagnosed as intellectual impairment. I don't know what the doctor has recommended for your treatment now?
