Question
Doctor, can children with cerebral palsy eat fruit? How should they be treated? We’ve heard that this disease can’t be cured? Is that true? He is 7 years old now, and we have been treating him for so long. He wants to eat fruit, is that okay?
Answer
Hello, I’m glad to answer your question: Cerebral palsy is a disease caused by brain damage. For this condition, children can eat fruit without significant impact. However, attention should be paid to their swallowing function to avoid coughing. Apart from this, in other aspects, cerebral palsy does have a relatively significant impact on eating fruit. Generally, for children with cerebral palsy, it is recommended to undergo rehabilitation treatment and seek treatment at a professional hospital.
