What should I do if my child tilts his head? Diagnose early…

Question 1: The baby is only two days old and will be four months old. He has noticed that his head is a little tilted since he was one month old. Now when he is held upright, it is still tilted to the right. Now she has just learned to turn over, but her head feels heavy, and she feels shaky when she turns over or holds her upright. I can hold on for a while while lying there, but my head still always tilts to the right. No other abnormality is found except the head tilt. Is this torticollis? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: You need to go to the children\’s rehabilitation department for a check-up. If it is muscular torticollis, you can choose massage rehabilitation, if it is bony torticollis, you need surgical treatment. If it is confirmed to be torticollis, it should be treated as soon as possible. The best stage of treatment is 0 to 3 years old. If the optimal treatment time is missed, it may easily lead to asymmetry in the size of the baby\’s face, nose, and ears. Question 2: The baby grunts and moves all night long. What is the reason? Dr. Wang Yanli’s answer: First of all, we must rule out whether we are hungry or have stomach discomfort after eating too much. If the baby eats too much, his stomach will become bloated and he will vomit milk. If your baby\’s belly looks round, pat it to see if there is any popping sound. If your baby\’s belly is bloated, you can do exhaust exercises for your baby. There are videos online for reference. Excluding the above two situations, from one month to two or three months, the baby grows and develops rapidly, and may grunt, blush, and twist its body back and forth at night. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and there is no need to worry. Question 3: I had sex one month and three days after having a caesarean section, and there is a brown, watery discharge coming out of my lower body. What is going on? Dr. Zhang Yanyan answered: It is too early to have intercourse now, and the endometrium has not fully recovered. In this case, it is recommended that you observe it again. If brown secretions continue to flow out, you need to do a color ultrasound examination. The fastest time for intercourse after caesarean section is 42 days. It is recommended to wait two months before having intercourse.
