Question
My daughter is 2 years old and I’ve noticed she’s different from other children. After a hospital check-up, we found out she has pediatric cerebral palsy. How should we treat it effectively?
Answer
Pediatric cerebral palsy usually occurs due to brain hypoxia and respiratory difficulties around the time of birth, leading to brain dysfunction. The main symptoms include delays in activity, fine motor skills, and language abilities. If a baby is diagnosed with cerebral palsy, it is important to visit a pediatric rehabilitation department as soon as possible for a neurological assessment. The rehabilitation doctor should then develop a scientific rehabilitation plan and initiate early rehabilitation treatment. Rehabilitation treatment can promote the development of the child’s nervous system and various skills. During the treatment process, diet and care are also very important, and it is necessary to supplement vitamins and other nutrients.
