What are the symptoms of high muscle tone in a four-month-old baby?

In recent years, it seems that more and more babies have high muscle tone, and many parents say they don't know what this means. In fact, high muscle tone has a great impact on the baby's physical health. If parents want to treat this disease, they must learn more about it. First, they need to understand the reasons why the baby has high muscle tone, and secondly, they need to understand the manifestations of high muscle tone. So, what are the symptoms of high muscle tension in a four-month-old baby?

1. In daily life, this is a typical manifestation. Children with high muscle tone are often more irritable, startled by sounds, crying continuously, having trouble falling asleep, having difficulty inserting their arms into sleeves when dressing, having difficulty opening their fists when bathing, and their whole body immediately becomes stiff when their lower limbs enter the bathtub or the water. Babies with high muscle tone have their lower limbs straightened, adducted and crossed in a scissor shape. When your baby shows the above symptoms, everyone must pay attention.

2. Sometimes babies will have muscle tension. There is no objective instrument to measure whether the muscle tension is too high. It depends entirely on the doctor's touch and experience. Sometimes the baby's lack of cooperation may be misjudged as a manifestation of high muscle tension. For example, during the examination, the baby is unwilling and his legs are stretched straight. In addition, when the child stands, he always stands on tiptoe, but generally the child will slowly put his feet flat. However, children with high muscle tension will always stand on tiptoe like that, and you may not be able to put his feet flat even if you press down with your hands.

3. In addition to the above symptoms, babies with high muscle tone have tighter muscles than those of ordinary children and are more difficult to move, which is also a manifestation of high muscle tone in babies. When changing diapers, most children's legs should be able to open to 120 degrees, but children with high muscle tone cannot open their legs. A baby over four months old will jump when asked to stand on an adult's belly, but a baby with high muscle tone will only stand straight and use his toes to sink into the adult's flesh. So everyone must discover it early and treat it early.
