What should I do if there is a bulge in the anterior fontanelle after hernia surgery?

Patient's question:

The baby had hernia surgery, and the soft spot on the head has become prominent. Their urination and defecation are normal, and they don't have a fever or vomit. Why did the soft spot suddenly become prominent?

Doctor's answer:

It's best to take a picture to take a look, okay? If it's not a big deal, then it's generally not something that needs to be resolved, as long as there's no nausea or vomiting, it's usually fine. It's essential to closely monitor and observe. If nausea or vomiting reappears, pay attention to whether it might be intracranial pressure elevation. Intracranial pressure elevation is often caused by excessive intake of digestive vitamins D. In addition to medication and treatment, patients also need to pay attention to nursing aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a cheerful mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for diagnosis to obtain good treatment effects.
