Question
My friend’s child was diagnosed with cerebral palsy after birth, and I’m worried about my wife who has been pregnant for so long. I want to know what the early symptoms of cerebral palsy in infants are?
Answer
The early symptoms of cerebral palsy are easy to detect, such as not being able to suckle after birth, crying frequently during naps, and being easily startled. There are also symptoms like muscle spasms, stiffness in the limbs, inwardly curled upper limbs, and the inability to raise the head normally by three months. Cerebral palsy requires timely treatment; otherwise, it will increase the difficulty of recovery. Currently, treatment mainly focuses on rehabilitation training.
