Question

How should one care for a child diagnosed with pediatric congenital cerebral palsy?

Answer

When caring for children with cerebral palsy, attention should be paid to the following aspects:

  1. Indoor Environment: Keep the air fresh, sunlight abundant, ventilation good, and temperature suitable. Regularly use ultraviolet light for disinfection, and frequently clean the floor with disinfectant to ensure a clean and hygienic living environment for the child.
  2. Hygiene: Regularly bathe the cerebral palsy child and promptly change clothes, bedding, and blankets. Daily care requires strict hygiene standards, which parents should not overlook.
  3. Skin Care: For children with severe conditions who cannot maintain a sitting position, it is best to minimize bed rest. Caregivers should frequently help the child turn over, promptly clean up waste, and maintain skin cleanliness to prevent bedsores or other infections.
