Question
A newborn male infant was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and epilepsy at the hospital one month after birth. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
Neonatal epilepsy and cerebral palsy may be caused by brain damage, and epilepsy seizures may lead to temporary brain hypoxia, thereby exacerbating the symptoms of cerebral palsy. It is recommended to take the child to a regular hospital for a detailed examination and treatment as soon as possible, control the epilepsy symptoms, and receive professional treatment for cerebral palsy to avoid missing the best treatment time and affecting the child’s growth and development. Families with such diseases should maintain a positive attitude, as a good attitude helps to enhance patients’ immunity and ability to resist diseases. This can help children better face their condition and promote recovery. Thank you for your feedback. May I assist you with any other tasks?
