Hello dr , my baby boy is two months old and when i had him they used vacuum to pull him out , but since then his head on the right head is swollen?

Vacuum del./head: Usually the head sweling should subside by now. Does ur baby have any neuroplogical problems? If not then talk to ur pediatrician and wait another month or two. Sometoiems the vaccum suctioning can cause a hematoma or in some cases can distort the baby's soft cranial bones. U should see ur pediatrician and bring it to his/her attetnion. He/she should be able to guide u after the exam.
