Question
What is the cause of low muscle tone in newborns, and what should pregnant women pay attention to now? I look forward to your guidance and thank you.
Answer
High muscle tone in infancy can be seen in conditions such as cerebral palsy, brain maldevelopment, post-hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy following newborn brain disease, and encephalitis. Specific analysis is needed based on accompanying symptoms, and it can also lead to human irritability, startle response to sounds, persistent crying, and difficulty falling asleep. We know that infant convulsions can cause significant harm to children. If treatment is not timely or the method is incorrect, its progression can be rapid, posing great harm to young children. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child’s condition and seek treatment promptly.
