Patient's question:
The left arm of a two-month-old baby is stiff and they always dislike bending it. Even during, they cannot raise it above their head, and they always clench their fists. Their toes are mostly curled most of the time. What's wrong? How can it be relieved?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, there should absolutely be no problem, because babies in the womb are curled up, with their hands tightly clenched, and sometimes even hugging something. After birth, they will habitually make such movements, which is normal and there is no need to worry too much.It is recommended that you wait and see for a while and gently guide the baby to perform various weak movements. If you still feel uneasy, it is best to visit a regular public hospital orthopedics department for a follow-up examination. Let the professional doctor conduct a thorough check first. If there are no significant issues, it is best to avoid imaging tests to prevent radiation interference with the baby's growth and development. There should absolutely be no problem.
Please absolutely do not go to private hospitals or small pediatric hospitals to avoid being deceived, delaying the condition, or undergoing unnecessary treatments. Wishing the baby good health!
