Question
During pregnancy, due to physical discomfort, my partner took some medication. Now, the child is almost two years old and isn’t walking well, much slower than same age peers. After hospital examination, it was found that the child has pediatric cerebral palsy. What are the symptoms of pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
Most children with mild cerebral palsy can achieve basic or near-normal development, but most children with cerebral palsy are shorter than their normal peers. Most children with cerebral palsy have poor development, loose teeth, a tendency to lick, and various dental problems. The incidence rate is higher than that of normal children. The long-term development seems to be delayed. Some cerebral palsy children have obvious or inconsistent contractions of facial and tongue muscles. As a result, children find it difficult to chew and swallow, and have trouble closing their mouths and dribbling saliva.
