What is baby's torticollis like

summary

After a lot of babies are born, parents will find that their children's neck is not very normal and feel crooked. This is torticollis. I'd like to explain to you what the baby's torticollis looks like.

What is baby's torticollis like

First of all, physiological torticollis - torticollis occurs three months after birth, which is often physiological torticollis. It is caused by the lack of neck strength and relatively heavy head after the child raises his head. At this time, there is no need to worry. Generally, with the growth of age, the body recovers itself. Parents only need to pay attention to observation.

Then muscular torticollis appeared about 2 weeks after birth, and obvious mass could be seen in the neck. At present, it is believed that muscular torticollis is caused by tension spasm caused by unilateral sternocleidomastoid muscle lesion. There may be two causes: one is the increase of intramuscular pressure of sternocleidomastoid muscle, which leads to muscle ischemia and fibrosis. The other is fibromatosis, that is, intramuscular benign fibromatosis.

Finally, bony torticollis is caused by cervical deformity. It is characterized by torticollis after birth and short neck syndrome.

matters needing attention

According to the location of the lesion, the mother should choose the location of her breast-feeding and sleeping. For example, if the child has a right torticollis, you should put the child on your left side when feeding and sleeping, and vice versa. Baby torticollis, parents can adjust, and older children, parents should urge children to actively carry out physical exercise.
