Patient's question:
Recently, something happened that made me very worried. My child is only one year old now, but his fontanel has already closed. I read that it is usually closed after one and a half years old. It is said that if it closes too early, it may be a sign that the brain has not developed properly. After reading this, I felt very worried.What kind of help do I need: What are the harms of a late-closing fontanel for a child? What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
This friend, in the case of your child, the closure of the anterior fontanelle before the age of one is a normal phenomenon. The general time for closure is between one and one and a half years old, specifically depending on the child's bone growth and development. It may be related to the fact that you have given your child more nutritious food. Wishing you health! The above is the suggestion for the question "What are the harms of late closure of the anterior fontanelle for children?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
