Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Could you please explain why a 6-month-old baby's head still tilts to the sides?Doctor's answer:
The baby's condition is likely due to torticollis. It is recommended to go to the hospital to identify the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment.Recommendation: It is advised to go to the hospital to determine the cause and, once diagnosed, begin passive stretching and correction.
The main consideration is that it may be caused by a bacterial infection. It is recommended to extract secretions for pathological confirmation. Currently, personal hygiene should be maintained, and increased fluid intake is advised. The diet should be light and nutritious, avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
