Patient's question:
It took ten days or so to realize that his head always tends to tilt to the side where he wasn't wrapped. About his past treatment and effectiveness: Ultrasound and other tests didn't reveal anything. The doctor suggested a thorough examination at the hospital. What assistance is needed: I want to know the harm this condition poses to the child and how it can be treated.Doctor's answer:
Ultrasound clearly confirmed that non-surgical treatment is suitable for infants under 1 year old. After the diagnosis of newborns, gentle massage and cold compress should be applied daily. Use weak manual traction, moderately pulling the head towards the healthy side, several times a day, each time 10-15 times. Use a sand pillow to fix it during deep sleep. As the child grows, gradually increase the intensity of the manual alignment. The occipital bone rotates towards the healthy side, and the lower jaw moves towards the affected side. Align several times a day and persevere. Most can achieve satisfactory results. The key is to be patient in the long term, pay attention to the gentleness of the technique, and pay attention not to get the direction wrong when correcting the posture. For children over 1 year old, surgical treatment can be adopted.
