Dear Vidyasree
I am afraid, at this stage she is not going to benefit from any medicines whether it is Allopathic, Ayurvedic or Homeopathy. So do not fall a prey to wrong notions propagated by somebody giving you any false hope. Many of my patients have wasted money on various systems of medicines, quacks and faith healers. At this stage she needs regular physiotherapy to improve her muscle tone and reduce the risk of more deformities.The stem cell transplant is being tried for treatment of CP and spinal cord affections. It may, however take another decade before producing concrete results.

Good Day
In Cerebral palsy the child is born with certain defects which will only mildly improve ONLY with Physiotherapy. You will need Medicines to help during any complications like fits etc. Do not fall prey to anyone who says they can cure your child as there is no proven cure till now. Have faith as Physiotherapy has helped many such children by good training, that they may be able to move around well, communicate nearly effectively. Please consult the Paediatrician and Physiotherapist.
