Asking For Self, Female 5, taxilla
hello.i wanted to ask for my 5month old daughter i am noticing from few days that she doesn't keep herhead straight and keep it tilt more towards left side when i lift her up is it something concerning? which specialist i should take her to. please answer
It looks like that she has torticollis that happens due to damage to one of the neck muscles during the birthing process.
Tilt in the neck position may not be noticed at birth but becomes apparent later on.
She should be seen by a Pediatrician to assess her problem. Neck muscle exercises can be tried first.
It appears to be considered congenital Torticollis. a check up from pediatrician is advisable
In addition to torticollis
Some tumour of sternocleidomastoid muscle May cause such problem.
But mentioned earlier is more common. Consult paediatrician or Paediatric surgeon.
