Question
My child has red stripes with white dots on their neck. They are now 4 years old but only sat steadily at the age of 3, can only perform a few simple actions, and speak only a few sentences. They can walk normally with one hand held, but are afraid to stand. Their hands and feet are quite agile and strong, but they cannot stand alone. I want to know what might be the cause.
Answer
Hello, based on your description, the child may have cerebral palsy, a motor disorder caused by brain damage. It is recommended that you take the child to a pediatric neurology or rehabilitation department in a children’s hospital for examination and evaluation to obtain an accurate diagnosis and treatment advice. Additionally, the child’s body resistance is relatively weak and they are prone to some health problems. Parents should pay attention to the child’s daily care and health checks.
