What are the symptoms of sequelae of cerebral infarction?

Everyone knows that severe cerebral infarction can be life-threatening and cause a variety of sequelae, causing serious distress to many patients. So what are the sequelae of cerebral infarction?

1. Language barriers: Patients with cerebral infarction who have language barriers should practice speaking more. In severe cases, they can gradually start with simple sounds and practice repeatedly. In addition, acupuncture can be used as an auxiliary treatment. Commonly used acupoints include Yamen, Tongli, Lianquan, etc., which are beneficial to promote the improvement and recovery of language function.

2. Difficulty in swallowing: Paralysis of the muscles responsible for swallowing in patients with cerebral infarction can cause difficulty in swallowing. They may choke when eating or drinking, and even have food sprayed out of the mouth and nose. Patients with mild symptoms can eat sticky foods, such as thick porridge, soft rice, etc. Patients with more severe symptoms should mainly eat liquid food.

3. Facial and eye deviation: Facial and eye deviation is a common symptom in patients with hemiplegia caused by cerebral infarction. You should massage your face more and do mouth, face and eye exercises. Acupuncture on the cheek-cartilage, dicang, yingxiang and sibai points will have better effects.

4. Limb dysfunction: Most patients with hemiplegia due to cerebral infarction have limb dysfunction. They can adopt supine or lateral positions to prevent limb contracture and deformity. After the condition stabilizes, they can start with simple flexion and extension exercises and gradually increase the difficulty of training. At the same time, massage, acupuncture, and soaking the affected limb in hot water can also have a good effect.

Whether it is language disorders or dysphagia, these sequelae of cerebral infarction should pay attention to strengthening daily training and care. Care for sequelae of cerebral infarction is very important, so only good care can achieve better treatment results.
