Question
A 5-year-old child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, and the parents have sought treatment in Maoming without success, and are currently undergoing traditional Chinese acupuncture treatment. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
Cerebral palsy is a disease that occurs before birth or in infancy, possibly caused by factors such as birth injuries, neonatal jaundice, brain hypoxia, or preterm birth. The condition leads to delayed motor development, such as the absence of crawling movements when lying on the stomach, or the hands remaining tightly clenched after 4-6 months of age. It is recommended to administer drugs that promote brain development to the child, such as Longnaocong, in order to improve speech, walking, and intellectual development to reach normal levels.
