What kind of help is needed: Is she lacking something or needing to digest something? How long does it take for the fontanelle to close without any issues?
Doctor's answer:
The anterior fontanelle usually closes between 1 to 1.5 years of age. Currently, your baby's fontanelle appears significantly larger, and their height is noticeably below normal, suggesting the possibility of hydrocephalus. While calcium deficiency can also cause similar symptoms, the signs are generally not this pronounced in cases of calcium deficiency.It is recommended to take your child to a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation and treatment. Wishing you and your baby good health.
