Why hasn't the fontanelle closed yet at the age of two?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my child is now 2 years old, what should I do? The fontanelle of my baby hasn't closed yet at 2 years old, what's going on? Why is this happening? Could my child have some kind of disease? Is my child malnourished?

Doctor's answer:

This situation is relatively normal. If a child is over two and a half years old and the fontanel has not fully closed, it is recommended to see a doctor. Because each child's condition is different. Some children close their fontanel earlier, while others close it later. Generally, it won't have too much impact. I hope my answer can help him.
