Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! My daughter is now three months old and has been taking calcium supplements recently. Tonight, she has been crying non-stop. I thought she might be in pain and took off her hat. Suddenly, I noticed that her fontanel is bulging here, and I'm very worried. Could you please explain what causes a bulging fontanel?Doctor's answer:
A three-month-old baby suddenly developed prominent blue veins and exhibited severe crying. It is suspected that this may be caused by increased intracranial pressure. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital promptly for relevant examinations to identify the cause of the increased intracranial pressure and provide symptomatic treatment. If the child shows signs of distress, it is best to avoid further crying to prevent emotional fluctuations that may worsen the condition.
