Question
My sister’s son was born on July 23rd, and today when we went to the hospital, the child couldn’t lift his head in a prone position. The doctor said it might be due to hypoxia and could lead to cerebral palsy. The child is otherwise normal. Is this true? How should cerebral palsy in children be treated?
Answer
The treatment of cerebral palsy in children requires the formulation of an individualized treatment plan based on the child’s specific condition. The general approach involves a combination of rehabilitation, surgery, and rehabilitation training. It is not objective to emphasize the miraculousness of a single method or the lifelong benefits of a particular technique. Therefore, when a child is diagnosed with cerebral palsy, parents should not become overly anxious. As long as they establish the correct treatment concept and seize the treatment opportunity, children with cerebral palsy can recover to a near-normal state.
