Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby is now 18 months old. The community hospital said during the health check that the fontanelle fusion is not good (22) and recommended going to the hospital for a thorough examination. Is this value normal? From the beginning, they said our fusion is slow. Is it because everyone's fontanelle size is different? Is the fusion speed different for each person? I had a cesarean section three months ago, and the baby's fontanelle was 33 at six months, 2.82.8 at eight months, and 2.52.5 now. Every day we eat Ekexin, is it due to calcium deficiency?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the baby is eight months old, and the anterior fontanel has not closed yet. It is recommended that you have a few trace element tests done at a regular Grade A hospital to check what elements the baby may be lacking. For example, calcium deficiency, iron deficiency, zinc deficiency, etc. Based on the detailed examination results, the corresponding supplements should be administered. If a specific element is lacking, then supplement that element; if not, there is no need to supplement. During sunny days, take the baby out for more sun exposure, with each session lasting 15 minutes to half an hour, which is beneficial for the absorption of calcium. At the same time, supplement with the EKIN brand vitamin A and D drops.
