Cerebral palsy is a very serious disease, and most children with cerebral palsy are congenital, caused by ischemia and hypoxia of brain tissue. During the initial period of a baby's birth, cerebral palsy is difficult to detect, and one can only observe whether the child has symptoms of cerebral palsy. So, what are the symptoms of cerebral palsy in children?
If a child has cerebral palsy, they may frequently cry and make loud noises, and the crying may be more subdued. Children with cerebral palsy have very uncoordinated movements and their limbs are not agile, appearing particularly stiff during movement. Children with cerebral palsy are prone to fright and are usually inactive and not fond of movement.
Newborns with cerebral palsy may experience difficulties in feeding, such as weak sucking and swallowing, and may also have difficulty closing their mouths. In addition, babies with cerebral palsy cannot stretch their legs straight, and their legs will appear in a staggered state, like scissors.
Cerebral palsy not only affects a child's mobility, but also damages their nervous system. Typically, children with cerebral palsy experience slow intellectual development. Babies with cerebral palsy may experience physical disabilities due to damage to their forebrain, poor object recognition ability, and obstacles in language communication. When parents notice the above symptoms in their children, it is likely that they have cerebral palsy, which requires timely treatment.
