Question
What should parents do if a 4-year-old child is diagnosed with cerebral palsy and cannot sit, walk, swallow, or speak?
Answer
The doctor advises parents to take their child for intelligence tests and checks on muscle tone and strength to assess the child’s condition. Treatment can include acupuncture, nerve-nourishing therapies, and rehabilitation training. At the same time, parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and take them for treatment promptly to slow the progression of the disease.
