Question
My son is already 5 months old, but he still cannot lift his head. Children born at the same time as my son are already crawling all over the place. When I took him to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said that my son has shown signs of cerebral palsy. What are the treatment methods for cerebral palsy children?
Answer
Oral medication is a popular treatment method for cerebral palsy patients. Due to its convenience and low cost, it has become a choice for many. However, it is important to note that many families of cerebral palsy patients only see the benefits of this therapy but fail to realize that its drawbacks far outweigh its advantages. Firstly, the drug treatment for cerebral palsy is slow to take effect. Secondly, although large doses of oral medication can temporarily alleviate pain, long-term use of medication can bring certain side effects to the patient’s body.
