Torticollis

Anyone heard of torticollis? My son Isaac at 2.5 months old we realise he's head tilt to the left and we brought her to see pediatric. Doc mention that his head tilted to the left and it's call torticollis. He recomended us to go for therapy and he say no big deal as he doens't feel any lump on Isaac's neck.

My answer :

Errmm...not meaning to scare you but usually, it is something that we should take serious notice. I guess you have read enough to know that these are part of the signs of children with disabilities. My premature baby had it and my doc told me it is part of the signs of cerebral palsy. (cacat anggota)

Of course, there are just those habits but how do we break a habit of a small child? Isn't there something like a neck brace or something to make sure that it is straighten out?

Do find a paediatrician who makes you assured of their decision. Try DSH Dr. Musa Nordin. He is an expert with this area.
