Patient's question:
The fontanelle of the big kid is slow, with a general pressure. After pressing, it was observed that there was no swelling or indentation in the fontanelle. The child seemed as if nothing had happened. I heard that the fontanelle shouldn't be pressed, and now I'm very worried. Will there be any sequelae?Doctor's answer:
Now the baby's reaction looks good, it's okay, don't worry, it's alright. The fontanelle looks very fragile, but it still has the ability to protect the baby. Just don't touch it frequently.The brain tissue is as soft as, and it needs the bony skull to protect it. The skull is sealed, while the fontanelle is an open space on top, making it vulnerable to external harmful factors. Taking good care of the fontanelle, protecting the baby's normal brain development, and helping the child become smarter are things parents look forward to.
