Question
Hello, my child is 9 months old, and she doesn’t respond to her name, but her hearing test passed. Yesterday, during a pediatric check-up, the doctor said she might have cerebral palsy.
Answer
The main symptoms are related to mental and motor development, as well as sputum-type cerebral palsy: the most typical and common type. The main manifestation is quadriplegia resulting from lower limb hernia paresis. Treatment for children with difficulties in walking and standing due to cerebral palsy includes two aspects: one is treating the brain, and the other is treating the disease. Since it’s a sequela, it usually does not rely on medication or surgery; mainly, it’s about physical therapy. The brain’s movement is in the process of learning. Parents should try to teach their children to speak and interact. They shouldn’t rush. They should teach them over and over again. The brain cells of the soul can always be trained for function. In this regard, medication, acupuncture, and physical therapy can only play a supplementary role.
