Question
My baby is seven months old and always prefers to sleep on one side. Sometimes, I notice that the baby’s neck is a bit crooked, and the buttocks on both sides are not of the same size. Could this be related to the sleep position? How can it be corrected?
Answer
Hello! Based on your description, it seems your child might have congenital torticollis. Early detection and treatment are very important, as most children can recover through active treatment. For congenital muscular torticollis, the best diagnostic method is to undergo an ultrasound examination. If diagnosed with congenital torticollis, it is advisable to seek professional massage therapy, and regional physical therapy or regional drug injection methods can be supplemented. If conservative treatment is ineffective, surgery may need to be considered.
