Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.
His problems could be because of damage to brain. Cerebral palsy occurs because of several causes. Various causes include birth asphyxia ( not crying immediately after birth), sepsis (infection), neonatal jaundice etc. Brain damage results in such problems.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
