Question
My child has been acting strangely lately. A friend who is a doctor suggested that we should see a doctor! It could be a sign of cerebral palsy. I’m surprised. What are the signs and symptoms of cerebral palsy in children, and what should be done for recovery treatment?
Answer
Firstly, hello. The symptoms you described are indeed related to cerebral palsy, but further examination is needed to confirm. The pathogenesis of cerebral palsy varies and often manifests as different brain areas being affected. Based on clinical characteristics, cerebral palsy can be classified into various types. Regarding your question about the “treatment plan for congenital cerebral palsy,” I recommend that you take your child to a nearby regular hospital for examination as soon as possible to receive treatment early. The treatment for pediatric cerebral palsy is most effective in the early stages, usually within a few months to a year, with different types of cerebral palsy children showing different symptoms. Early treatment can prevent delays in the child’s recovery process.
