Patient's question:
My son is 4 months old. He always sleeps facing one direction. As soon as I turn his head, he twists it back again. I'm really afraid of pressing his ears into a point, and I worry if this will cause his ears to deform. Will his head become crooked if he sleeps like this? How should I handle this? An anxious motherDoctor's answer:
It is best to control or change a child's sleeping position. Young children are in their growth phase, and their bodies, especially their bones, are very susceptible to external influences, which can easily lead to brain deformities. The human ear grows throughout life, just with different timing and speed. External ear deformities in children can be quite harmful to the patient. It is recommended that the patient seek timely treatment from a specialist under the guidance of a doctor. Daily exercise is appropriate, but attention should be paid to preventing overheating. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
