Question
My son has congenital cerebral palsy. He didn’t show any unusual signs right after birth. It was only after he turned one month old that we gradually noticed he was different from other children in his age group. He has a slight crooked posture, often drools, and his speech is unclear. Now, as he grows older, he can’t attend school and has been receiving treatment. What should we do?
Answer
Maintain proper posture. When the child’s trunk control and feeding abilities improve, you can systematically start language training. The conversation should be at eye level with the child. If it’s too high, the child will overstretch. It’s beneficial for pronunciation. Timely personalized comprehensive treatment should be carried out, such as functional muscle strength training, soft tissue traction, and wearing bracing devices, to fully utilize the maximum recovery opportunities from reduced muscle tension. Four to six months after injection, sputum production will gradually increase, but the effect of improving motor function usually does not disappear. If necessary, another injection can be administered.
