General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms you are described may be enlarged fontanelle. Consult a neurosurgeon and get evaluated.

We have to rule out other possibilities also. In most of the cases, it is a normal variant and will settle by its own.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
