Patient's question:
On the 28th day after my daughter was born, I noticed a pigeon egg-sized lump on her right neck. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as torticollis. I massaged her every day, from three to seven months. Due to some commitments, I missed a few sessions, and her head started to tilt slightly. After resuming the massages and focusing on twisting her head to the right, by the time she was 11 months old, her ability to look to the right had improved significantly. Now she is 15 months old, and it is usually not noticeable. When her head is straight, the lump is not palpable, but when she looks to the left, the lump on her right neck becomes visible. I am wondering if surgery is still necessary in this case.Doctor's answer:
The child is still young, and the effect of massage therapy is very good, so it's not noticeable in daily life. However, if surgery is needed, it's necessary to have a thorough examination by the surgical department at the hospital to confirm. If surgical treatment is required, simply saying so cannot lead to a diagnosis. This is the entire introduction to "What is the reason for the pigeon egg-sized lump on her right neck?" In the end, we wish the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy life.
