Parotid infantile hemangioma
Hi My daughter was born in 35 weeks with the birth weight of 2.05 kg. Currently she is 5 weeks old. At the start of 5th week we noticed a swelling under her left cheek and was diagnosed with parotid infantile hemangioma. One doctor suggested we wait and let it run its course. Another suggested MRI, USG after which she will be put on propranolol. Is it safe to take medicine? How safe is MRI for infants? What should we do in this case? Thanks

USG and MRI are safe for babies. It's better to take USG to know the size and extend of the hemangioma.its good to take an opinion from pediatric surgeon after taking USG.
