The main symptoms of cerebral palsy in children include developmental delays, visual and auditory impairments, and motor dysfunction. Some patients may also experience seizures and behavioral abnormalities such as mental disorders. There is no specific medication for cerebral palsy in children, so it is essential to seek prompt medical attention when the above symptoms appear. Early detection and early treatment are crucial to controlling the progression of the condition.
