Patient's question:
Doctor, my child is almost one year old. There is a 5 cm gap in the anterior fontanelle that hasn't closed yet. It seems like it never closed since birth. The health check-ups have been normal, and I recently had a brain CT done, which showed no hydrocephalus. I also had trace elements tested. Since birth, I have been giving my child AD drops and calcium! I am very worried about what to do about my baby's fontanelle. Below are the recent trace element test results.Doctor's answer:
The fontanelle of a baby is generally closed between 1 to 1.5 years of age. Your baby is only one year old and has not yet closed, which is a normal phenomenon. The results of the trace element examination for your baby are normal, with no abnormalities. As the baby grows older, the fontanelle will close on its own. Temporary observation is sufficient, and medication is not necessary.The above advice is for the question, "Doctor, my child is almost one year old, and the fontanelle is 5 cm and has not closed, what should I do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
