Question
Why can’t a newborn look upwards, experiencing particularly painful symptoms when they try to raise their head, which began two days ago?
Answer
After analyzing the newborn’s condition, the inability to raise the head accompanied by pain may be due to muscle strain resulting from prolonged improper posture learning. It is advised to avoid prolonged bending the neck and to ensure adequate rest. Additionally, local massage and hot compresses can be applied to alleviate symptoms. If symptoms persist and do not improve, it is recommended to seek medical attention for an X-ray examination and follow the prescribed treatment to recover as soon as possible.
