Hi Cameroon, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your question in detail and I know that you are very concerned about your child. By what you quote it seems that your child probably has cerebral palsy or neuromuscular disorder. In my opinion, you should do an MRI brain of child to confirm the diagnosis. Hearing assessment and vision assessment should also be done. Till all the reports come, you should do physiotherapy. Review back with above reports and some pictures of child. I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care. Regards Chat Doctor.
