Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:My daughter's anterior fontanelle has not fully closed yet, and she has white spots on her fingernails. Her hair has always been black and thick, but recently, she has grown one or two white hairs. What nutrients might she be lacking? Should we do a trace element test? What kind of nutrition should be supplemented in her diet based on her symptoms? Which nutritional supplements should she take? I have given her Longmu Zhuanggu Zongji powder for two boxes recently, mixed with milk, does it matter? After taking it, her appetite has increased compared to before, but the symptoms mentioned above have not disappeared.
Doctor's answer:
The timing of fontanelle closure reflects the development of the brain and skull, as well as the development of the skeletal system. The normal time for fontanelle closure in children is generally between 1 to 1.5 years old. Hello, consider whether there are issues such as calcium deficiency in children, hypothyroidism, or hydrocephalus. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a CT scan.
