Patient's question:
The baby is 3 months and 14 days old. Since we missed the hip ultrasound within the first 3 months, I feel that his hips are a bit tight. Sometimes they release on their own when he moves, but most of the time they are inwardly tucked and tight, which has caused my right middle finger to bend and makes it difficult to lift. Is this high muscle tone?Doctor's answer:
This is a normal physiological phenomenon, so there is no need to worry. You can go to a regular hospital's pediatric surgery department for further detailed examination and treatment to rule out congenital hip dislocation. It is recommended to focus on observation, and everything is fine. Your condition looks fine. You should rest and take good care of the baby, pay attention to hygiene issues, avoid standing for long periods or overexerting yourself, and can go to a regular hospital's pediatric department for further examination and treatment.
