Question

Is there a problem if a child’s head is larger than that of their peers, especially when they are only 2.5 years old? How about past treatments and their effectiveness? What kind of help is needed?

Answer

If the child only has a large head but all other growth and development is normal, there is no need to worry. However, if there are accompanying symptoms such as delayed development, language development disorders, or difficulty walking, it may be a sign of hydrocephalus. It is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital for a detailed examination.
