Patient's question:

Female, 4 months. Female, 4 months. Premature baby born at 35.5 weeks weighing 5 pounds 4 ounces. Now almost 4 months old and still can't lift their head—is that normal? Their head just lies flat, they can't lift it. What's going on! Feels like their neck is soft, their body is soft, can't be held upright. They can track objects, they can be made to laugh, they...

Doctor's answer:

The baby is 35 weeks pregnant and premature with good weight, but it still cannot rise. It is necessary to check muscle tone in a timely manner. It is recommended to supplement vitamin D and calcium for the baby promptly, and appropriate exercises can help the baby lift its head. If the muscle tone is low, timely intervention is required.
It is recommended that you take your child to the pediatric rehabilitation department or neurology department of a children's hospital for consultation. After the doctor conducts a detailed examination and relevant auxiliary tests, the child's condition can be clarified. Based on the test results, symptomatic treatment will be guided. Please cooperate actively with the treatment as recommended by the doctor. It is also suggested to have the doctor perform relevant examinations and provide symptomatic guidance for training.
