Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello, the fontanelle of a baby usually closes around the age of one. It's not necessary to worry too much if your baby's fontanelle hasn't closed by 6 months. If your baby shows early symptoms of calcium deficiency, such as excessive sweating, night sweats, night crying, head rubbing, baldness at the back of the head, rib flaring, or poor appetite and indigestion, calcium supplementation should be considered. Longmu Zhuanggu Granules can be taken, as they have the effects of supplementing calcium, promoting appetite, and aiding digestion. They can treat conditions like rickets (calcium deficiency), cartilage disease, poor appetite, indigestion, and developmental delays in babies. The recommended dosage is 3 times a day, with half a bag each time. Generally, these symptoms will improve within 1-2 months of treatment. If your baby doesn't have these symptoms and is just being preventive against calcium deficiency, taking 1 bag a day, divided into 2 doses, is sufficient. Long-term prevention of calcium deficiency is very beneficial for your baby's growth and development.
