How do i make a stiff neck (from sleeping in a bad position) better for a child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Encourage activity: Many will improve on their own. If the head is held in a fixed position (turned and tilted to one side, right or left), check with your child's primary provider or a pediatric orthopedic specialist. Same if there is pain, fussiness, delayed improvement. These could be more serious and need evaluation, therapy.
