A member asked:

My baby has a fever and her soft spot is bulging what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Laying down or up: If babies soft spot is full or bulgy laying down it can be normal. If it is bulging while held upright it is a problem. Either way, if the way baby looks bothers you have her seen this afternoon by her pcp or at an urgent care center.
