Does it matter if a baby has torticollis at 2 months?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Go to a regular hospital for a clear diagnosis and rule out skeletal torticollis; muscular torticollis can be corrected through passive traction. This involves tilting the patient's head to the healthy side so that the healthy earlobe moves closer to the shoulder, performing movements in the opposite direction to the deformity. The technique should be gentle, with simultaneous massage of the lump, local heat application, and each traction should be repeated 15-20 times, 4-6 times a day. Pay attention to correcting posture in daily life. If conservative treatment cannot correct it, surgery can be performed for correction.
