What are the early abnormal symptoms of pediatric cerebral palsy?

  Early detection and treatment of cerebral palsy is crucial for the child, but how can parents seize this critical period? This requires parents to carefully observe the child’s life performance to find out if he or she has certain characteristics of cerebral palsy.  The following is an explanation of the abnormal symptoms of early childhood cerebral palsy. 1. lagging motor development; 3-4 months old cannot lift his head prone; 4 months old still cannot support his weight with his forearms; 6-7 months old cannot roll over; 9-10 months old cannot crawl; abnormal muscle tone and posture; sitting and crawling posture are different from normal children. 2.  Normal newborns (especially low birth weight babies) are easily “agitated” and “sensitive” when they are hungry, but newborns with cerebral palsy are prone to this phenomenon even when they are not hungry.  Some parents even say, “This child cries all night long. About 30% of the children with cerebral palsy have severe colic-like symptoms within 3 months after birth, with sudden and violent crying.  4. Frequent spitting, often with the mouth half open and the tongue constantly sticking out, with few or many stereotypical movements. This symptom of pediatric cerebral palsy is often an early symptom of tardive dyskinesia.  5. Difficulty in caring for the child, as shown by the difficulty in inserting the arms into the sleeves when dressing, the difficulty in extending the thighs when changing diapers, and the difficulty in breaking the fists when bathing. Parents often report that “children do not like bathing” when their feet just touch the edge of the tub or the water surface. The back is immediately stiff and arch-shaped.  The symptoms of neonatal cerebral palsy are also “sensitive” to sudden sound or position change, like a frightened state.  7. Difficulty in feeding, uncoordinated sucking and swallowing, sometimes parents report that the milk is “dripping out of the mouth while eating”. Difficulty in weight gain.  8, abnormal reflexes, put something into the hand, the child will grasp the reaction, after 3 months disappeared, if it has not disappeared, it is not normal.  9. If there is a history of prematurity, asphyxia, low birth weight, intrauterine infection, pre-eclampsia, severe jaundice, abnormal pregnancy history, family genetics, etc., the child may have cerebral palsy.
