Hi ! It is but natural to get worried in such a situation. However, after going through the history, I would like to suggest you to take your son to a Paediatrician to exclude any connection of the swelling to the spinal cord of the baby. If it is so,then you may be referred by him to a Neuro Surgeon of the like for treating the condition.
