Patient's question:
The baby is 7 months old and always prefers to sleep on one side. Sometimes, I notice that the child's neck is a bit crooked and the buttocks are not the same size on both sides. Is this related to his sleeping position? How can it be corrected?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation has a very high possibility of being congenital torticollis. Early detection and early treatment can lead to recovery for most children through active treatment. Ultrasound examination is the best diagnostic method for congenital muscular torticollis. If diagnosed, professional massage therapy is required. At the same time, local physical therapy or local medication injection methods can be combined. If conservative treatment does not improve, surgery should be considered.
