Question
An infant is experiencing convulsive symptoms similar to epilepsy, and sometimes their behavior appears to indicate intellectual impairment, with a lack of response to surrounding stimuli. Is this a manifestation of cerebral palsy?
Answer
Infantile convulsions and cerebral palsy are different conditions. While infantile convulsions can potentially lead to cerebral palsy, further examination is necessary to determine the cause. Considering possible causes such as facial neuritis or other conditions, active treatment with electroacupuncture, physical therapy, and neural nutrition can be pursued to improve symptoms.
