Patient's question:
My little baby was born a few months ago, but recently I noticed he cries much more than usual, has difficulty sucking while feeding, and muscle stiffness. So I immediately took him to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it's cerebral palsy. How should we treat this condition? And what are the dietary precautions we should take in the future? Thank you, doctor.Desired help: How should cerebral palsy in children be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy refers to a syndrome caused by non-progressive brain damage resulting from certain reasons before birth, during birth, or in early infancy. It primarily manifests as central motor disorders and abnormal postures, and may be accompanied by intellectual disability, recurrent seizures, abnormal gait, sensory impairments, and other abnormalities. Although clinical diagnostic symptoms may change with age and the growth and maturation of the brain, the inflammation of the central nervous system remains constant.
