Early symptoms of cervical spine injury in infants

Infancy is the period when children are most susceptible to disease because they are too young and all parts of their bodies are not fully developed. The body is also prone to injury. If not well cared for, the child's cervical spine will not mature. People who don’t know how to hold a baby can easily injure the baby’s cervical vertebrae, so special attention needs to be paid. If babies develop cervical spine problems in the early stages, they can be treated if discovered in time. So what are the early symptoms of cervical spine injuries in babies?

1. The baby's cervical spine injury. The most common phenomenon is postpartum injury. For example, during the delivery process, the operation is inappropriate, or the child is in a state of dystocia. You are likely to cause certain damage to the baby's cervical spine joints, shoulders, etc., so the baby usually has symptoms of joint dislocation, and the baby's joints will be more prominent. When the baby has such a phenomenon, you should take the baby to a professional hospital for relevant examinations.

2. The second phenomenon is incorrect holding posture. The baby's head is relatively large and accounts for a relatively large proportion of the body weight. The muscle ligaments are not fully developed after birth. If the speed is very fast or the posture is incorrect when holding the baby, it is easy to cause damage to the baby's cervical spine. Therefore, the baby will cry and the baby's head cannot be straightened. At this time, it must be taken seriously.

3. The third phenomenon is that after the baby can crawl and walk, he falls from the bed without paying attention, which can also cause serious external cervical spine injury. If the head hits the ground, it is likely to cause skull injury, or even a mild concussion, bruising, and mild cyanosis. When such a phenomenon occurs, it must be treated in time.

There are many symptoms after a baby's cervical spine injury, and the impact on physical health is also very great. For a baby, each organ of the body is very fragile. Usually, you must not shake the baby's head excessively, and you must pay attention to the baby's health. If the baby has other abnormal phenomena, such as crying and the body has symptoms of blue and purple, you must take the baby to a relevant hospital for examination and treatment.
