Question
My child was born with cerebral palsy, and now he cannot lift his head, cannot sit steadily, and often cries at night. I want to find a shelter to take care of him so that my husband and I can work and earn money; we are struggling to make ends meet. How long can a neonatal cerebral palsy patient live?
Answer
Cerebral palsy is a syndrome caused by non-progressive brain damage during the developmental process within one month after birth, primarily manifested as motor disabilities and abnormal posture. Early treatment is beneficial for controlling the condition, and it is recommended to seek medical attention and undergo rehabilitation treatment as soon as possible. Patients with cerebral palsy may be affected by intelligence and may experience language disorders, difficulties in movement, and other symptoms. Cerebral palsy patients should also choose foods rich in protein, which are beneficial for the brain.
