Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
If your child is losing head control then it may be a sign of either muscular dystrophies, myopathies or neuro degenerative disease.
If such a child comes to my clinic then
I would like to go for complete developmental assessment, Blood CPK and thyroid levels, MRI and if required EMG.
You should get him checked by a paediatric neurologist.
I hope I have helped you.
