Anatomical assymetry: This is hard because something sounds very wrong and i would want your son evaluated urgently. Here would be my rule: if he is having any difficulty breathing, is lethargic or has a fever then get him to the er. If he is comfortable, able to communicate in full sentences and is his normal personality then you can wait to see the pediatrician tomorrow.
