Patient's question:
A 10-year-old child with cervical pain accompanied by vomiting, chest tightness. Brain CT, X-ray of the cervical spine (both lateral and anteroposterior views), lumbar puncture, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram have all been performed and found normal. MRI of the craniovertebral junction was also normal. Please ask the doctor if gastrointestinal discomfort and vomiting can cause cervical spondylosis, which type of cervical spondylosis it is, and which hospital is best for treating it. How can it be confirmed?Doctor's answer:
Based on your current situation, it is highly likely that you may be suffering from cervical spondylosis. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a cervical CT scan to determine whether there is a herniated disc and the severity of the condition. Severe cervical spondylosis can lead to symptoms such as shoulder and neck pain, numbness in the hands, and more. This condition is related to your long-term poor posture, such as spending extended periods sitting and looking down while using your phone, computer, or engaging in other activities. It is important to actively correct this habit. Children can also develop cervical issues if they do not take care of their neck health. It is advisable to pay attention to maintaining good posture in the future and avoid sitting in one position for too long. You should move and stretch your limbs approximately every half an hour to an hour.
