Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, and recently I have been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has also affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to work well. Could you please tell me at what age do babies start to develop a hard neck?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the baby can naturally lift their head independently, it is generally around the age of four months. Currently, when the baby is two months old, you can let them lie on their stomach while an adult helps massage their spine with their hands. This can help promote the baby to use their neck muscles earlier and lift their head sooner. Some babies as young as three months can already lift their heads independently very well. Children's bodies have weaker immunity, so they are prone to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take the child to a professional hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medication should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
