Question
My baby is one year old, and I took him to the hospital for a check-up today. The doctor said that my baby has kyphosis. What are the symptoms of children’s kyphosis?
Answer
I’m glad to help you with that: Kyphosis in newborns manifests as shorter and more pronounced limbs, with the baby’s head being larger than normal and the forehead prominently protruding. Some infants may exhibit more pronounced abnormal behaviors, such as restlessness during sleep, frequent crying, and excessive sweating. Due to excessive sweating, the scalp may become itchy, causing the baby to rub their head against the pillow, leading to noticeable bald spots.
