Is sticking out the tongue a symptom of cerebral palsy?

The symptoms of cerebral palsy are very common nowadays, so many parents will suspect that their children have cerebral palsy after discovering some abnormal symptoms in their baby's body, especially when babies stick out their tongues. If the tongue sticks out frequently, three factors can be considered: emotional factors and abnormal factors. It is not ruled out that it is related to other diseases. Whether it is cerebral palsy needs to be confirmed through examination.

1. There is a history of neonatal asphyxia.

2. A history of obvious neonatal jaundice is also a symptom of neonatal cerebral palsy.

3. All low birth weight and premature babies should pay attention to possible symptoms of neonatal cerebral palsy.

4. Inability to laugh: For example, a two-month-old baby cannot smile, or a four-month-old baby cannot laugh out loud, which is also a symptom of neonatal cerebral palsy.

5. Inability to reach out and grasp objects is also a symptom of cerebral palsy in newborns: if a baby is unable to reach out and grasp objects at 4 to 5 months, he or she may be diagnosed with mental retardation or cerebral palsy.

6. Clenched fists: If the baby's four large hands cannot be opened, or the thumbs are adducted, especially on one upper limb, this has important diagnostic significance in the symptoms of cerebral palsy in the newborn.

7. Head instability is also a symptom of cerebral palsy in newborns: If a large baby cannot lift his head when lying prone or cannot keep his head upright when sitting, it is often an important sign of brain damage.

8. Body torsion: If a baby aged 3 to 4 months has body torsion, it often indicates extrapyramidal system damage.

9. Symptoms of cerebral palsy in newborns also include strabismus: When babies aged 3 to 4 months have strabismus and poor eye movements, it may indicate the presence of brain damage.

Cerebral palsy must be discovered early and sent to the hospital for treatment. With today's advanced medical technology, the possibility of curing cerebral palsy is getting greater and greater, so we must not give up treatment.
