How to see if a newborn has cerebral palsy

The presence or absence of cerebral palsy in newborns can assist in the diagnosis based on the newborn’s reactions and cries. If there is a history of asphyxia at birth, the child has a blue face, stiff or weak limbs, and there are abnormal changes in combination with imaging, dynamic observation is required to detect cerebral palsy. Because various conditions are still immature during the neonatal period, dynamic observation is required. In addition, if the newborn has feeding difficulties or weight gain, it is necessary to visit the neonatology department of the hospital to find out the problems that need to be dealt with as early as possible to avoid irreversible effects, as well as symptomatic treatment combined with nerve-nourishing drugs, food and rehabilitation training.
