How can head tilt in a child be managed?
Question
My two years old daughter slants her head towards the right. It happens in the morning and when she plays. It was noticed one and a half years back, but I thought it will correct with the time. It doesn’t pain. Her head circumference is 49 cm. What is the cause behind it?

Your child has head tilt or torticollis. The causes could be many, and rather than increase your anxiety by listing the causes, I suggest you meet a child neurologist who will examine the child, and if required, proceed for tests to exclude a vision, neck, or spine problem.
