Many parents worry that their children develop slower than other children. In fact, every child develops and grows differently. Many parents will classify cerebral palsy and developmental delay in children as the same. So are cerebral palsy and developmental delay the same? What should I do if my child has herpes in his mouth?

3. Pay attention to oral hygiene. Rinse your mouth with light salt water after eating and rinse your teeth with salt water before going to bed. The effect is very good. Do not eat after brushing your teeth. Change your toothbrush frequently to avoid virus residue on the toothbrush, which may cause multiple herpes.

4. Avoid eating foods rich in arginine, such as chocolate, cola, peas, cereals, peanuts, gelatin, cashews, beer, etc.;

Is cerebral palsy the same as developmental delay?

1. Cerebral palsy in children is different from mental retardation. They often have delayed motor development, uncoordinated movements, abnormal primitive reflexes, adjustment reactions and balance reactions. They are easily misdiagnosed as cerebral palsy in early infancy, but their symptoms of mental retardation are more prominent, their muscle tone is basically normal, and there are no abnormal postures.

2. There are differences between cerebral palsy and motor retardation in children. Some children's motor development is slightly behind normal children of the same age, especially premature children. However, they are not accompanied by abnormal muscle tone and posture reflexes, abnormal movement patterns, and other abnormal reflexes of the nervous system. The symptoms of motor retardation can disappear in a short period of time as the child grows older and focuses on sports training.

3. There is a difference between cerebral palsy in children and congenital myasthenia. Some children have obvious hypotonia, muscle weakness, and low or absent deep tendon reflexes after birth. Respiratory tract infections are common. This disease is sometimes misdiagnosed as hypotonic cerebral palsy, but the tendon reflexes of the latter can usually be elicited.

4. Cerebral palsy in children is different from progressive spinal muscular atrophy. The disease begins in infancy and symptoms appear after 3 to 6 months. A small number of patients have abnormalities after birth, manifested as symmetrical weakness of the upper and lower limbs, progressive muscle weakness, obvious muscle atrophy, decreased or disappeared tendon reflexes, and repeated respiratory tract infections due to respiratory muscle insufficiency. The children cry softly and cough weakly. Muscle biopsy can help confirm the diagnosis. The disease is not accompanied by mental retardation, facial expressions are alert, and eye movements are flexible.

Therefore, when a child shows some symptoms that are different from normal children, it is necessary to take the child to a regular hospital for examination in time, find out the cause, and treat the disease accordingly, so as to give the child a healthy life.

What is the reason for baby's stuffy nose

1. Insufficient immune function: The baby is just born, the body has not yet adapted, the resistance is poor, and the immune function is insufficiency. If you do not pay attention to keeping warm, you will easily catch colds and other diseases.

2. Physiological factors: The maxillary bones and skull bones of newborn babies are not fully developed, and the nose and nasal cavity are relatively short; the nasal hairs in the nasal cavity are sparse; the nasal mucosa is tender, and the blood vessels and lymphatic tissues are relatively abundant in adults. Once encountering cold air and airflow with a high bacteria content, it can directly stimulate the nasopharynx, causing congestion and swelling of the nasopharyngeal blood vessels and mucosa, increase nasal secretions and scabs, and make the already narrow nasal cavity narrower or even blocked, thereby reducing the amount of oxygen inhaled and blocking the discharge of carbon dioxide.

3. Disease factors: Newborn nasal congestion is common in upper respiratory tract infections. Secondly, diseases of the nasal cavity itself, such as nasal polyps, nasal septum deviation, nasal foreign bodies or tumors, can cause nasal congestion in babies. In addition, certain allergic reactions can also cause nasal congestion.

4. Drug factors: Certain drugs can also cause congestion and swelling of the nasal mucosa, leading to nasal congestion. For example, pregnant mothers taking the antihypertensive drug reserpine can cause nasal congestion in newborn babies. Nasal congestion caused by general diseases needs to be distinguished from congenital nasal deformities. The former generally suffers from obvious diseases, such as rhinitis, while the latter is caused by congenital factors and needs to be determined in combination with further examinations.

What to do if your baby has a stuffy nose

1. Get enough rest

For colds, good rest is essential. Let your child sleep more, reduce outdoor activities appropriately, and don't tire your baby. Take good care of your baby's diet and let your baby drink more water. Sufficient water can make the nasal secretions thinner and easier to clean. Let your baby eat more fruits and juices rich in vitamin C. It is said that chicken soup can relieve the symptoms of colds. You might as well make some chicken soup for your baby to drink. Try to eat less dairy products, which can increase mucus secretion. For babies with decreased appetite, mothers should prepare some easily digestible foods with good color, aroma and taste.

2. Let your baby sleep more comfortably

If your baby has a blocked nose, you can put one or two towels under the child's mattress and slightly raise the head to relieve the blocked nose. Never let babies under two years old sleep directly on the pillow or put the pillow under the mattress, as this can easily cause suffocation or damage the cervical spine.

3. Help your baby blow his nose

The baby is still too young to blow his nose by himself, so the best way to help the baby breathe smoothly is to help him blow his nose. You can apply a little Vaseline oil to the baby's external nostrils, which often relieves the blockage of the nose; if the nasal mucus is sticky, you can try to use a nasal aspirator or twist a medical cotton ball into a small stick to remove the nasal mucus; if the nasal blockage has caused difficulty in feeding, you can use saline nasal drops 15 minutes before feeding, and after a while, use a nasal aspirator to suck out the saline and mucus in the nasal cavity, and the baby's nose will be unobstructed.

4. Keep the air moist

You can use a humidifier to increase the humidity in your baby's room, especially at night to help your baby breathe more easily. Don't forget to clean the humidifier with white vinegar and water every day to avoid the accumulation of dust and germs.

5. Give your baby a steam bath

Take your baby to the bathroom with you, turn on the hot water or shower, close the door, and let your baby stay in the steamy room for 15 minutes. Your baby's stuffy nose will definitely get better. Don't forget to change your baby into dry clothes immediately after the bath. If you let your baby play in slightly warm water for a while, it can also relieve the symptoms of nasal congestion and lower the body temperature.
