Frequent touching of a baby’s fontanelle is not related to electrolyte imbalance. Electrolyte imbalances can be categorized into various types, with each type having different symptoms, including acidosis and alkalosis. However, it is still recommended not to frequently touch a baby’s fontanelle, as this may affect its closure. If you want more detailed information, it is suggested that you consult a professional doctor at the hospital. If the baby shows any symptoms, please take him to the hospital for examination and treatment after determining the cause.
