Question
The anterior fontanelle hasn’t closed yet, and there’s a gap of about 1*1.5 cm. Is this normal? Is there a possibility that the baby has a calcium deficiency or other nutrient deficiencies?
Answer
If the anterior fontanelle hasn’t closed and there is a noticeable tremor, and the baby is shorter than normal, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible to rule out the possibility of hydrocephalus. Although calcium deficiency can also cause similar symptoms, it is usually not so pronounced.
