Infants and toddlers with squint neck are often neglected because the child’s neck is soft and cannot stand upright before 3 months of age, and parents are not careful enough to observe the neck. Early detection helps the child recover early, and the degree of recovery varies greatly depending on the timing of intervention. This can have a negative impact on the physical and mental health of the child as he grows up. I. How to conduct early detection of infantile squint? In infantile squint, compared to lumpy and striated type, which are easily detected due to obvious external manifestations, the sternocleidomastoid muscle is only slightly thick and tense, so it is not easy to be detected. This requires parents to pay attention in daily life to observe whether their children are sleeping, looking at things is the head used to favor the same side, when lying down to rest, the head only to that side of the rotation; whether there are small and large eyes; whether the cheek muscles are symmetrical on both sides, one large and one small; whether the cervical muscles are symmetrical on both sides. If the above situation is found in life, parents should go to the hospital early for professional examination if they are not sure whether the child has infant and toddler squint, and if early treatment is confirmed. 2. What are the causes of infant and toddler’s squint? 1, congenital factors congenital sternocleidomastoid muscle dysplasia, one side of the swelling thick and hard, resulting in restricted neck activities; fetal period due to maternal amniotic fluid is too small, the fetus in the maternal activity space restrictions, head movement is naturally limited, the birth of a series of symptoms of the above-mentioned oblique neck; in the process of childbirth, delivery difficulties, not easy to deliver, there is a pull on the neck, inevitably easy to appear in the neck muscle damage, the formation of Hematoma, and then gradually form a lump. 2, acquired factors During breastfeeding, the mother is often used to breastfeeding on one side because of the small amount of milk on one side, and over time, the child will form the habit of skewing on one side; holding posture Many parents are used to holding the child unilaterally, or bottle-feeding, the child is used to holding on their side, which is also one of the reasons for the formation of habitual oblique neck; sleeping posture The child’s head is skewed to one side for a long time, and the child’s skull is soft. If the child’s head is tilted to one side for a long time and the child’s skull is soft, the child’s head is tilted unilaterally during sleep, which is not corrected in time, and habitual squint is also easy to form. How to prevent infant’s squint? The only way to prevent congenital squint is to seek early medical attention and early rehabilitation. What parents need to know here is how to prevent habitual squint. If the child has habitual head turning to one side, do not hold the child unilaterally, but alternate the two sides; 3. Pay attention to the sleeping position of the child and observe whether the child’s head is skewed. How to carry out home rehabilitation? 1, the muscles around the neck and shoulders first light manipulation and relaxation; 2, the affected side of the neck sternocleidomastoid muscle massage, with tea oil first applied to the massage place, gently push and rub for 15 minutes; 3, with toys or bells to tease the child left and right direction, pay attention to the range of activities as large as possible; 4, face acupuncture points massage, take points: bilateral Dicang point, cheek car point, hold the point, solar plexus, Renzhong point, Indang point, with a single finger gently press and rub, each point 2 The massage can be carried out symmetrically and simultaneously on both sides. The best time to intervene for infants and toddlers is within 1~3 months of age, followed by 3~6 months of age, while children above 6 months of age have a longer course of disease and are prone to recurrence. Early detection, early intervention, and maximum recovery before school age are important to avoid negative effects on the growing child.
