Question
My baby was 9 months old when an MRI at the hospital showed underdevelopment of the right brain and high muscle tone in the right hand. Although rehabilitation therapy and intravenous treatments have been administered, the effects have been not obvious. Now, at 19 months old, the baby sometimes eats things that are not food and needs to touch their hair to fall asleep at night, and occasionally walks on the tips of their toes. I want to know if this is normal for a baby and what can be done about it?
Answer
During the normal process of growth and development, there may also be temporary increases in muscle tone. It is recommended that you take your child to see several places and pay attention to whether the child frequently shows a stiff-leg phenomenon. Additionally, regular massage for the child can also help alleviate this situation. You can further discuss with your doctor to seek a better solution. I hope this helps, thank you.
