What should be noted when helping children with cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

The child has been very healthy since birth, rarely getting sick or taking medicine. However, recently, it has been noticed that the child walks a bit awkwardly and doesn't respond much, often just making "ah-ah" sounds. They also refuse to turn. After taking them to the hospital for a thorough examination, the doctor said they have cerebral palsy. Later, some treatments were tried, but they had no effect at all. A lot of Western and Chinese medicine were also consumed. Now, the question is: what should be paid attention to? What should be noted when treating pediatric cerebral palsy?

Doctor's answer:

Cerebral palsy is the full name of brain paralysis, referring to a disease that results from damage to brain tissue in children due to various causes (such as infections, skin injuries, trauma, etc.), leading to non-progressive, central motor dysfunction and eventually deteriorating. Food should be easy to digest and absorb, and rich in nutrients. It is recommended to choose high-protein foods, as protein is the foundation of intellectual activity and is closely related to brain memory and thinking. Milk, soy milk, eggs, yogurt, meat, and other foods are all good sources of protein. Additionally, it is advisable to include foods high in vitamins.
