Patient's question:
The baby is three months old. The soft spot is still about the size of a one-yuan coin and hasn't fully closed. What could be the reason for it being this large? At six months, it was this big, and now at one year and three months, it's still the same size.Doctor's answer:
Dear consultant, if the baby has only a large fontanel, it is necessary to pay attention to monitoring the data of the baby's head circumference to see if it is normal and whether there may be a possibility of hydrocephalus. Also, pay attention to whether there may be hypothyroidism, which may also delay fontanel closure. Also, if the baby is deficient in vitamin D, this situation may occur again. It is necessary to check how deficient in vitamin D is and increase the intake of vitamin D according to the results.
