Question

Which department should I visit if my child’s head is always tilted to the left? I’ve noticed this at 100 days old and have already visited Suzhou Hospital and several affiliated Fudan University hospitals in Shanghai.

Answer

Hello, the baby’s condition suggests torticollis. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a diagnosis of the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment. After diagnosis, you can start with exercises in the opposite direction of the deformity, using gentle techniques. Each session should include 15-20 pulls, performed 4-6 times a day.
