Question
Dear doctor. My child has spastic cerebral palsy since he was a baby for 10 years now. Now I have constant contractions. I want to ask the doctor to advise me what medicine should I give my son to improve his current spasticity. Thank you very much doctor!

Hello! In the case of your nephew, you should not buy medicine and then treat him without a thorough examination. It is best for the family to take the child to the hospital for a check-up. After the examination, depending on the child's condition, use the appropriate medicine, and be able to be fully guided in treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards!
