Question
A colleague’s son has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy since he was six months old. After years of treatment, a significant amount of money and effort have been invested, but there has been no noticeable improvement in his condition. In terms of diet, what should be paid attention to?
Answer
For the treatment of mild cerebral palsy, choosing the appropriate medication is crucial, as different types of cerebral palsy and individual constitutions may react differently to medications. Some medications should not be used long-term to avoid potential side effects such as intellectual decline. Particularly in the early stages of treatment, this is of utmost importance. Scientific rehabilitation training can help compensate for impaired physical functions, thereby improving the patient’s motor abilities. As for diet, whether cerebral palsy children are suitable for eating spicy foods should be based on individual circumstances and the advice of a doctor.
