Question
My sister’s child is 3 years old and has been carefully diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The whole family is terrified, and the doctor said there is little hope of spontaneous recovery. I can’t believe it; is it really incurable?
Answer
Cerebral palsy in infants involves irreversible brain damage, which is generally difficult to heal on its own. Only through medication control, combined with subsequent functional training, can we make every effort to help children recover their ability to interact with the environment and learn basic self-care skills. Parents are the children’s greatest hope, and having confidence is essential for providing better care for the child. Symptoms vary depending on the underlying cause, so patients should seek rapid and systematic examination at a regular three-level A hospital based on their specific condition to receive targeted treatment and accelerate recovery.
