What Is The Treatment For Torticollis That Leads To Blue Tinged Sclera In An Infant?
Grandson 8 months old born at 33 5/7 weeks has blue eyes and sclera is blue tinged. Just diagnosed with torticulos and has 1.5 cm difference on left side of his head recommending he wear a band and start physical therapy. Any chance we are missing something more serious?

Hi,
Thanks for asking query on health care magic.
Torticolles in a 8 months old child is usually congenital.
Physiotherapy started early will help .
If there is no improvement and if the child is beyond 1-2 years surgical correction is required.
It is not a very serious condition.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose.
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required.
Take care
