Patient's question:
My child is two and a half months old. Since she was one and a half months old, she often sleeps sideways, but her head is always tilted backward at a ninety-degree angle to her body. Her head feels warm, but she doesn't have a fever. She is also quite easily startled. What could be the reason? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Normal, the body temperature of infants is naturally higher. The reason is that the metabolism is very fast during infancy, and the body cells divide rapidly. As the body grows rapidly, it produces more heat. Especially, the temperature at the back of the head is higher. As long as the body temperature is normal, there should be no problem.
