Patient's question:
During pediatric check-ups, the head circumference has always been 41.3 cm, and all trace elements are within the normal range. Only calcium is slightly below the normal range at 1.20. She said that a small head circumference and low calcium levels could lead to cartilage disease, but no measures are being taken to address it now.Do you think this could lead to cartilage disease? The baby is usually in good spirits, though a bit lively (she's a girl). After the two vaccinations, she exhibited some hunching symptoms. She has already started teething four times. I wonder if it's because of the recent winter weather that she dislikes jumping and now avoids it. She also dislikes sitting up and being held by adults, though she still needs adult assistance to transition from sleeping to sitting.
Is this related to cartilage disease?
Doctor's answer:
The symptoms mentioned can only prove that the fontanelle has closed prematurely. Advice: Premature fontanelle closure can easily lead to incomplete brain development, which is also known as microcephaly. If a child exhibits delayed motor and growth development, it is necessary to have them examined by a hospital to rule out microcephaly.The above is the advice for the question "If head circumference is small and calcium levels are low, will it lead to cartilage disease?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
