Pre-cerebral palsy symptoms

Early symptoms of cerebral palsy include delayed development, hypotonia, and difficulty with feeding and care. First, a child with cerebral palsy may have delayed development and may not be able to roll over, sit up, or crawl normally within a specified time frame, for example, if he or she is unable to control the lifting of the head or chest at five months of age, he or she may have cerebral palsy. If the child is unable to play with objects flexibly at seven months of age, cerebral palsy may be the cause. Second, a child with cerebral palsy may have hypotonia, which causes muscle relaxation. This results in the inability to lift the head on his or her own and delays in the development of other body parts. Third, it is difficult to dress a child with cerebral palsy, it is difficult to separate or spread his legs apart when changing diapers, and it is not appropriate to break his fists apart when bathing. Fourth, it is difficult when feeding. Uncoordinated sucking and swallowing movements cause milk to flow while drinking, and weight gain is difficult. Fourth, over-excited or quiet. Sometimes it is difficult to fall asleep, crying all night long, sometimes suddenly and violently, which may be a sign of severe “colic”. In addition, children with cerebral palsy may be born prematurely, with low birth weight, severe jaundice, or with a family history of cerebral palsy. In short, children with cerebral palsy have a range of symptoms such as developmental delays, slow and stiff movements, and learning difficulties. The patient’s family should maintain an optimistic and calm state of mind and actively help the child to do rehabilitation treatment.
