Question
When a baby finds difficulty in dressing, bending the body, or hugging, with the head soft and unable to lift, slow growth, delayed movements, reduced activity, poor eating, and the tongue often pushing out food, what is the most effective treatment for brain palsy?
Answer
The main causes of brain palsy include prenatal infections (such as influenza, rubella, and herpes zoster), delayed deliveries (such as cephalopelvic disproportion, pelvic narrowness, incorrect fetal position, first-time pregnancy in the elderly, and massive uterine atony), as well as neonatal seizures. For brain palsy, it is recommended to carry out early intervention and treatment, including physical therapy, speech therapy, and psychological support, to promote the child’s development and improve the quality of life.
