Is a prominent forehead a sign of illness?

Patient's question:

My son is half a year old. Around 7 or 8 months, his forehead became somewhat prominent. I don't know if it's hereditary or due to a lack of some nutrients? Is there any way to prevent it from growing further?
Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

If the brow bone is too prominent, it can make the eyes appear sunken, which can have a certain impact on our appearance. This is an issue that needs to be addressed. If it becomes more prominent with age, it is even more important to seek timely treatment. However, this condition does not qualify as a disease.
The occurrence of pediatric orthopedic diseases severely affects the patient's life. In addition to active treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. It is recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits, as well as foods rich in calcium, to avoid or reduce the chances of onset.
