Question
My child’s fontanelle is still not fully closed, there are white spots on her fingernails, and her hair has been black and abundant until recently, when she started growing a few white hairs. What might she be lacking? Do we need to conduct a trace element test? What kind of nutrition should we supplement in her diet to address her symptoms? Which nutritional supplements should we take? I recently gave her Longmu Strong Bone Powder mixed with milk for two boxes; is that okay? After consuming it, her appetite has increased, but the aforementioned symptoms have not disappeared.
Answer
The timing of fontanelle closure reflects the development of the brain and the skeletal system. The normal time for an infant’s fontanelle to close is generally between 1 and 1.5 years old. Hello, consider the possibility of pediatric calcium deficiency, hypothyroidism, or hydrocephalus. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a CT scan. There are many causes of pediatric endocrine diseases. If the child is diagnosed with pediatric endocrine disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for active treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in children and have a balanced diet.
