Patient's question:
The baby's head is slightly tilted to the left at three months—is it torticollis? Thank you. I noticed when holding him and entertaining him with toys, his reaction is faster when looking to the right, but when looking to the left, he sees only half and then turns away. Is this torticollis? If so, since the baby's head is currently tilted to the left, which side should he sleep on? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Cervical torticollis can be divided into congenital muscular torticollis and acquired bony torticollis. Generally, a lump in the neck can be palpated after birth or within two weeks after birth. It is recommended to take the child back for an orthopedic check-up to clarify the condition, follow the doctor's advice for treatment, and undergo an MRI examination for a thorough diagnosis. After confirmation, treatment should be provided.The above advice is for the question "Why is my three-month-old baby's head slightly tilted to the left?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
