Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 4.5 month old keeps cracking in left shoulder or neck area (?) followed by a painful cry....? It s increasing in frequency, and the same after administering advil (tried for pain and inflammation). the crying only last about 1 minute. Dr said he was teething, Chiro felt some tightness on left side of C2/C3. I know popping/cracking is normal, but why is he screaming in pain? Worried Mom.
By what you say I feel that it could be a physiological phenomena. It could be a very initial stage of tics also. I am telling that it could be tics because of the immediate cry that baby is doing after the particular cracking. I suggest that you keep the baby under follow up with your pediatrician with the clinical tips.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
