Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago, and recently, for some unknown reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. Which department should I go to for a baby with torticollis?Doctor's answer:
Cervical dystonia is a orthopedic disease, generally caused by birth injuries. Please go to the orthopedics department of the hospital for examination. If it is a specialized hospital, you can find the pediatric orthopedics department. For children under one year old, active massage should be performed. It is best for a massage therapist to treat it. Children over one year old require surgical treatment. After surgery, a neck brace should be used to correct and maintain the normal posture of the head and neck to achieve good results.
