Patient's question:
The gap on the top hasn't healed yet, and the scar hasn't formed. About the previous treatment and its effectiveness: The examination said there was a calcium deficiency. What kind of help do you need: How long does it usually take for the scar to heal, and is it normal that it hasn't healed yet?Doctor's answer:
The fontanelles are divided into the anterior and posterior fontanelles. The posterior fontanelle is a triangular gap formed by the margins of the parietal and occipital bones, which is very small at birth and has already closed. It closes latest by 6-8 weeks after birth. The anterior fontanelle is a rhomboid gap formed by the margins of the parietal and frontal bones, measuring about 1.5-2.0 cm at birth. It gradually decreases in size as the skull grows and develops, and gradually ossifies and becomes smaller, closing around 1-1.5 years of age. So you don't need to worry too much.Medical Advice: If there is a calcium deficiency, pay attention to digesting calcium. Feed the child more foods rich in calcium or follow the doctor's advice to take many calcium supplements.
