The effects of cleft palate on patients exist in two main areas: 1) patients with cleft palate have an abnormal cleft in the upper palate, which affects the morphology; 2) patients are unable to perform normal physiological functions such as sucking, swallowing, and speech. In infants, if they are unable to suck normally, they are also unable to eat normally. If parents find that their child has cleft palate, it is important to seek early medical attention and get advice on feeding as well as care under the guidance of the doctor so as to ensure the child’s physical development and to be able to get a better physique before the time of surgery. Because there is no closure of the palate, the child is prone to choking and coughing due to regurgitation of the oral and nasal cavities during feeding. This may cause aspiration pneumonia in the long run, resulting in a higher risk of respiratory infections. Therefore, if a child has a cleft palate, parents are expected to bring their child to the doctor in time to repair the cleft palate as early as possible at the right time so that the normal physiological function of the child can be restored.
