Baby tilting head
My daughter is 7 month and 20 days old, she is bending her head towards right, we took her to a paediatrician who suggested we go to PT, PT advised some stretches which we are doing daily, around 2 weeks back she was good for almost a week and half and then now overnight from the last 1 week her bend is even more visible, she is using both her hands for grabbing, but her tilt is even more visible, we are very worried , what is causing this, how many days does this torticollis last, will it go away on it's own with PT, one thing we noted is she is rubbing behind her neck, did we cause her pain , which is making her tilt, please suggest what should we do to cure our baby of torticollis soon

At 7months, if still torticollis persists, you have options with some muscle relaxant, botulinum injection and lastly surgery.
