Patient's question:
How is the treatment for neonatal torticollis done? The head is habitually tilted to one side. It was discovered at 3 months. It is likely congenital. In the hospital, they do exercises and massage the neck. There is some improvement.Doctor's answer:
Newborns sleep on their backs. Lying on their sides is not recommended. Lying on their sides is even more undesirable because it is not conducive to growth and development. Holding the child in one direction may lead to the head being turned to the other side. If this phenomenon occurs when holding the child on both the left and right sides, it is necessary to consider whether there is a vision problem. This is particularly evident when staring at something. Some cases are caused by habits (maintaining/sleeping). Some are caused by vision problems. Others are caused by developmental issues with the nervous system. Gradually examine and eliminate them.
