Patient's question:
The head is obviously tilted to one side. When I pushed his head with my hand, his shoulder also tilted to the same side. When I touched it, I could feel a noticeably tight muscle. I was eager to find out what illness this could be.Doctor's answer:
It's hard to say. It's still better to go back to the hospital for another check-up. Early detection of plagiocephaly. Frequently observe the baby's head on both sides (left and right). On the front and back sides. When it's less than 6 millimeters. As long as you frequently change the baby's sleeping position, it can be corrected normally. When it's between 6 millimeters and 12 millimeters. It's moderate plagiocephaly. Treatment is recommended. If it exceeds 12 millimeters. Then immediate treatment should be sought. Generally speaking. When we visually observe that the baby's head is sleeping (slanted) or sleeping (tilted). The asymmetry of the baby's plagiocephaly has already exceeded 6 millimeters. It's then necessary to consider artificial correction.
