Question
The baby has a lump on the right side of the neck. Can the baby use detox plasters, and what treatment methods are available?
Answer
The child is currently two months old and has been diagnosed with torticollis. With active treatment, the vast majority of children can fully recover by about one year old. Firstly, it is important to focus on posture correction, which can be supported by a pillow on the affected side. When the mother holds the baby horizontally, the affected side should be upwards, and neck lifting exercises should be performed to strengthen neck muscles. In addition, massage can also promote recovery, but it must be done under professional guidance. If surgical treatment is ineffective and the child’s age exceeds one year, surgical treatment can be considered. It is not recommended to use detox plasters. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery!
