Question
A 6-month-old female infant has weak body posture, difficulty in lifting her head, does not actively grasp objects, cannot roll over, and does not recognize people. How should this developmental delay be handled?
Answer
Doctors recommend taking oral vasodilators and nerve-nourishing medications, and avoiding spicy, cold, greasy, and other irritating foods. At the same time, moderate physical and mental activities, as well as the intake of vitamin-rich foods, can also be helpful. Moreover, parents should pay more attention to their child’s development, identify problems early on, and seek timely treatment. Delayed treatment or improper methods may accelerate the progression of the illness, causing serious harm to the child.
