Question
My child is three months old. When lying down (whether awake or asleep), their head always tilts frequently from side to side, their hair is tangled, and their scalp is red. Is this a concern? Also, the child cannot lift their head up; they always keep their heads down (they could lift their heads twice when they were two months old). Could this be due to the pillow?
Answer
There can be many reasons for a child to frequently blink, including mimicking others, eye inflammation, or congenital eye diseases. It is recommended that parents first observe if the child has symptoms such as red eyes or increased eye discharge, and if any abnormalities are found, seek medical attention promptly. As for the issue of the child not being able to lift their head, it may be related to the pillow or other factors. It is suggested to consult a professional doctor to obtain accurate information.
