Patient's question:
I'd like to ask what are the symptoms of cerebral palsy in children? There's a child in my neighbor's house who looks quite healthy, but upon touching him, you can tell something's wrong. He walks a bit awkwardly, not like a normal person, and he often drools, and his speech is unclear. I want to ask if he might have cerebral palsy.Doctor's answer:
If you want to diagnose whether he has cerebral palsy, you must go to a formal hospital to give him a systematic and thorough examination. Often, children with cerebral palsy exhibit many symptoms, such as being unable to stand upside down normally or perform normal movements. In terms of language, they are also lacking, growing and developing slower than their peers. Their motor skills are also very delayed, and their intellectual development may also be abnormal.
