Question
HI, I am a government employee and I have a kid (3 yrs old). His growth rate is too slow; we have discussed with various Dr's but we are not satisfied with the current line of treatment. Dr's told us it is due to Micro cafeli (I don't know spells.) please suggest some line of treatment and can it improve by "Yoga" and all. I hope I will get proper suggestions from your side.
Answer
Do you mean microcephaly? If yes, that stands for small head. Microcephlay could be due to a variety of causes such as infections, genetic problems, birth related problems, mentally retarded cerebral palsy and even familial. One needs to find out the cause of the small head and then treat it accordingly. In the meantime, phsiotherapy should be started for proper development. Back to All Questions
