Question

I have a friend whose child was born without breathing due to a long labor time. The baby was only able to breathe after 4 hours of convulsions by the doctor. Unfortunately, the child is now one year old and doesn’t cry or fuss; they don’t know what they want to eat, can’t sit up properly, and can’t walk. What are the symptoms of brain tumors in premature babies?

Answer

The symptoms of brain tumors primarily include increased muscle tone and difficulty with abduction. In severe cases, muscle rigidity, spasms, and joints maintaining a flexed posture can be observed. These are often accompanied by sensory, cognitive, communication, and behavioral impairments and seizure attacks. Targeted recovery training is conducted based on the clinical classification of brain tumor patients, including gross motor skills, fine motor skills, balance, and coordination training. Physical rehabilitation treatment includes massage and manipulation, which has the effects of correcting posture, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and adjusting Qi and blood to improve internal organ function. There are various methods such as pushing, moving, pressing, massaging, pinching, rubbing, combing, wiping, pinching, shaking, and shaping. These must be applied according to the child’s age, condition, and symptoms. The effectiveness is positively correlated with the skillfulness of the techniques.
