Doctor's answer:

Hello. Cerebral palsy generally includes congenital hereditary factors and postnatal birth factors, both of which can be possible causes of anemia. The causes include placental abnormalities, abnormal fetal position, intrauterine distress, premature birth, multiple pregnancies, as well as neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, kernicterus, infections, trauma, cerebral hemorrhage, and brain malformations, among others. Wishing you good health.
Children affected by pediatric cerebral palsy should be taken to the hospital for timely medical treatment by parents to avoid various misunderstandings. Symptomatic treatment should be administered promptly. For parents, it is essential to closely monitor the child's condition and provide as much support as possible to help them receive timely treatment for the disease.
