What is the latest age at which the fontanelle of a normal child closes?

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Could you please tell me what the latest age is for a normal child's fontanelle to close?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the anterior fontanel gradually decreases and closes, with the latest closure by 2.5 years old. The posterior fontanel is usually closed at birth. A small remnant at 15 months is normal and is gradually closing.
Hello, based on your description, it is not advisable to get vaccinated. Vaccinations should only be administered when the child is healthy, as otherwise, it may worsen the condition. It is best to first treat your baby's illness before getting vaccinated. Generally, delaying vaccinations is acceptable, as long as they are not administered prematurely.
