Suggest Treatment For Disproportionate Growth Of Head

My one and half year old daughters head is slightly bigger on her left side than her right side. Is this normal? She had been cranky and is still breastfed. She has a doctors appointment Thursday June 10, 2015 for a check up and I ll bring it up to him. I just can t stop worrying. There s no telling how long it s been like that.

Hello,

It is abnormal to have disproportionate growth of head. I suggest you to consult your pediatrician at the earliest for clinical assessment. Hydrocephalus is one of the condition wherein the head starts growing disproportionately.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
