Question
A child was born with some issues, and later the parents noticed that she is different from other children. She often cries loudly and still struggles to speak. Sometimes, she even dribbles saliva. The doctor diagnosed her with cerebral palsy. How much does it cost to treat pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
Cerebral palsy can manifest in various types. 1. Spastic type: The child primarily shows stiffness in the limbs. 2. Athetoid type: Unintentional involuntary movements occur in the limbs and head, with increased involuntary movements when performing purposeful actions, such as squinting and blinking of the eyes, difficulty speaking and swallowing, and often accompanied by dribbling saliva. The most effective treatment for cerebral palsy is comprehensive treatment, including medication, surgery, rehabilitation, and more advanced neural cell transplantation methods.
