Question
A friend’s daughter had acute encephalitis and now exhibits symptoms such as not speaking except for calling ‘mommy’ and walking with the toes of her feet touching the ground. Does this mean she has cerebral palsy?
Answer
Abnormal symptoms that occur after acute encephalitis should be considered as post-encephalitic sequelae, which may present similarly to cerebral palsy. Since the brain cells have been damaged by the encephalitis, the focus of subsequent treatment is on rehabilitation training, and brain nerve cell nutritional drugs can be used as prescribed by a doctor. It is recommended to seek medical treatment for professional treatment as soon as possible. The above opinion is for reference only and is hoped to be helpful to you.
