Question
My child was born prematurely at 8 months, a twin boy. Now he is 1 year and 5 months old. My child still can’t sit, crawl, stand, or walk. He has been confirmed to have cerebral palsy. How should it be treated?
Answer
It could be cerebral palsy. Specifically, doctors must conduct examinations before making a diagnosis. If the child is older and has other complications, the difficulty and extent of recovery in treatment will be affected. Currently, the main treatment methods include surgery, rehabilitation training, and traditional Chinese medicine. Since your child is still quite young, surgery is not necessary. Comprehensive treatment should be the preferred option. However, it is important to choose a treatment method with good effects and rapid results. The older the cerebral palsy patient gets, the greater the difficulty in treatment. Therefore, we need to time and not delay.
