Question
Does improper treatment of pediatric cerebral palsy pose a life-threatening risk?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric cerebral palsy mainly involves rehabilitation training, with appropriate surgical intervention at the right time based on the child’s exercise condition to create good conditions for recovery. In terms of diet, it is important to increase nutrition, choosing high-protein foods as protein is the foundation of intellectual activity and closely related to brain memory and thinking. Milk, soy milk, eggs, yogurt, and meats are all rich in protein. It is recommended that the diet for cerebral palsy include foods high in vitamins, as vitamin A can enhance the body’s resistance and promote brain development. The B-complex vitamins can improve various metabolic functions, increase appetite, and vitamin D helps with the absorption and utilization of calcium.
