Hypertensive muscle in a child at 3 months old

All babies are born with a hypertonic muscle: the fingers are clenched into the fists, the legs are tightened to the tummy, the arms are bent at the elbows. If it is not strongly expressed, then it is considered normal and after 90 days after delivery begins to gradually pass. As a rule, when a routine examination of the state of distortion of muscle tone in the baby doctor determines immediately. However, if there is no opportunity to visit the pediatrician, then the child at 3 months can notice hypertension of the muscles himself.

How to determine the distortion of muscle tone?

The most common signs of hypertension of the legs and pens at 3 months of the baby are:

1. Bad sleep in the crumbs. Children with this problem sleep very badly: they have a short-term and restless sleep. If you look at the child, the parents will find that his head is thrown back, and the legs and hands are tightly pressed to the tummy. Attempting to unbend limbs leads to a strong crying in the crumbs.
2. The kid does the tiptoes on tiptoe. At 3 months, the child should leg out, imitating walking. To check the correctness of this process, it is enough to take the crumbs of the armpits and lift them above the table surface, looking at his reaction. A healthy baby will start to actively do small steps, stepping on the entire foot, and a child with hypertension of muscles will begin to lean on tiptoe, pulling the toes on himself.
3. During crying the crumb throws back his head. This is also one of the symptoms. Children with this ailment become very irritable, and the slightest sound can lead them into a state of mourning. At the same time, the kids throw their heads back, and their chin starts to tremble.

Treatment of muscle tone

Parents need to understand that if the crumb has such symptoms, then the neurologist can not avoid consultations, because, depending on the reasons, there may be several treatment regimens. As a rule, this is a combination of massage, gymnastics, aromatherapy and medications.

It is worth noting that any medication, such as, for example, Fenibut, with hypertension of the muscles in a child at 3 months can be prescribed only by a doctor. This is due to the fact that they are all psychostimulants, and if misused, they can negatively affect the central nervous system of the crumbs. In addition, pharmaceutical companies that produce such drugs recommend that they be prescribed to children over the age of two.
