How to deal with a three-month-old baby's twisted neck?

Patient's question:

My son is three months old. Today, when I was feeding him, he suddenly started crying and no amount of comforting worked. When I put him in bed, he stopped crying. I realized it was because his neck was twisted. Could you please ask the expert what to do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you with your question. Based on your description, your baby is crying and restless with a twisted neck, which may be related to sleep posture. It is recommended to visit the hospital's surgical department for a definitive diagnosis and, if necessary, apply heat for symptomatic treatment. If this child experiences significant distress when moving their neck, further examination at the hospital may be required, such as a CT scan or MRI, to determine if there is a cervical dislocation or cervical injury caused by trauma.
