When a baby has low muscle tone, its limbs are often in a flexed state, and it is prone to accompany conditions such as head backward tilt and head drooping. When the muscle tone is significantly low, it can easily affect the healthy development of the baby. Therefore, when parents find that their child has muscle tone problems, they need to pay attention to actively cooperating with treatment methods such as exercise, acupuncture, or physical therapy.
Manifestations of low muscle tone in babies:
1. Normal babies usually have their limbs in a flexed state when lying flat, but if the baby's muscle tone decreases, the limbs may be straightened or softened when lying flat.
2. Normal babies are in an upright position in the neck, but babies with low muscle tone may have their heads tilted backward or their heads may droop quickly after being held upright.
How to treat low muscle tone in babies:
1. Children with low muscle tone should receive formal and comprehensive rehabilitation treatment. Exercise therapy plays a very important role in the treatment of low muscle tone.
2. Combined with physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, herbal fumigation, wax therapy, etc., nerve growth factor can also be used for drug treatment.
3. Treating low muscle tone requires a long-term mental preparation, as it is often caused by a certain amount of brain damage during or before birth.
