Patient's question:
Daughter is 2 years old and often feels strange. The doctor said she has infantile cerebral palsy. What are the symptoms and manifestations of infantile cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Children with cerebral palsy often experience sudden stiffness in certain situations, such as when lying on their back, dressing them while their body is bent, or when being kissed, making it very difficult. Additionally, the child often cannot lift their hands, and their head is slightly off the ground when picked up, with their limbs bent. Infants rarely develop motor skills, learn to sit up, or use their hands flexibly, and they may lag behind their peers in these areas. Some children may use a small part of their body more than another, such as using one hand instead of both. Bowel and bladder control, dry swallowing, and tongue movement often make it very difficult to feed and keep their mouths closed. Children are easily angered, crying, and sleeplessness, or they may sleep very soundly during naps and never laugh.
