What is the reason for a 9-month-old baby's neck slightly tilting to the right?

Patient's question:

At six months, it was noticed that the neck was slightly tilted to the right. I went to the pediatric department in Baotou for a check-up, and they suggested sewing a millet husk bag on the right side of the neck and binding it. However, it had no effect and the tilt became even more severe than before. I'm wondering what should be done about this.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is estimated that the child's muscular torticollis has been associated with the habit of tilting the head to one side for a long time and has gradually changed. If there is muscle spasm or tightness, you can massage and ask: Hey, after the massage, he has been squatting on the right side, and the phlegm is still very strong. He usually stays nearby for two or three days, and it is best to restore muscle response. It only takes a few days. Pay more attention to the child's condition in daily life, and it is still recommended to take the child to the hospital for a detailed examination when necessary, and then treat according to the doctor's advice.
