One side of the head is getting flat.

2017-07-18 08:23:10
Hello, My son is 10 years old. I am noticing that his left side of the head is getting very flat. As a result, his head is looking very narrow, front to back. This is getting more pronounced as he is getting older. As a child, we did not notice any such problem. Now, the odd shape of the head is very obvious. Should I take him to any specialists?
