Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
Whatever you are quoting fits into prenatally acquired hydronephrosis and it might get better as the age progresses. Only thing is you have to follow it up regularly with followup ultrasound scans. I suggest you have to be extra careful if he gets fever lest it should be urinary tract infection and do not use antibiotics without cultures of body fluids.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
