Question

Does an irregular newborn head shape and bulging skull indicate hydrocephalus?

Answer

An irregular newborn head shape and bulging skull may be caused by genetic factors or old injuries. It is important to protect the affected area and consider an X-ray examination for a definitive diagnosis. Additionally, the mild jaundice the child is currently experiencing can be naturally resolved through drinking more plain water and exposure to sunlight, and it is expected to return to normal within a month.
