Question
Doctor, hello. A newborn was delivered via cesarean section due to hypoxia in the womb, as advised by the doctor. After birth, the newborn’s skin appeared purple and is currently receiving treatment in the neonatal ward. I understand that hypoxia may lead to cerebral palsy. What are the abnormal symptoms of pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
Hello, the newborn was delivered via cesarean section due to hypoxia, and upon birth, the skin appeared purple, which may increase the risk of cerebral palsy. The early symptoms of cerebral palsy include delayed motor development, slow responses, poor growth and development, and limited movement in the limbs. Recommendation: Symptomatic treatment should be administered, and observation and treatment should be conducted in a hospital. First, correct the hypoxic condition, and then continue to observe the progress of treatment. It is recommended to seek treatment at a professional hospital.
