Flat Head

2021-04-25 08:24:21
Hello Dr This query is wrt my son 6months old. From birth he prefers right side, that his right back head seems to be flat with slight forehead bulge on right and right ear is little shifted. We are repositioning. Also he rolls only to right. Will the head shape correct on its own? What are the other treatment options in India? Will there be any other problem? Thankyou.

No problem. Head asymmetric is temporary phenomenon. It is due to soft ness of cranium. U can use mustard seeds packed little pillow that can take a rounded and moulded shape.

Head shape will correct on its own. About his right side preference this is to early to comment on hand preference so kindly get evaluated with a pediatrician s clinic.
