What department should I go to if my baby's neck is tilted?

Patient's question:

What kind of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Please tell me which department to see if a baby's neck is tilted.

Doctor's answer:

Based on the symptoms you mentioned, it is likely a manifestation of torticollis, primarily caused by muscle spasm of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. It is recommended to visit a pediatric massage therapist for examination. Maintain a calm mood.
Your condition may be subcutaneous bleeding. This bleeding can resemble a needlestick, known as a petechia; it can also appear as a large patch. If there are no compression symptoms, treatment may not be necessary. Severe hematomas may require aspiration or incision.
