Hi,
It is not normal to have one side of head bigger than the other. The causes could be:
- recent fall accompanied with internal or external hematoma
- possible masses inside his head
So, I'd suggest to consult with a pediatrician as soon as possible to get him diagnosed and treated properly.
All the best!
