Question
My baby is five months old, and their soft spot has collapsed over the past two days. What’s going on? In cases where vomiting leads to a depression in the soft spot, this may be related to fluid loss. What kind of help do I need?
Answer
If the vomiting has improved, there’s no need to worry too much. Rest, maintain a normal diet, and it usually resolves itself. If there is significant fluid loss, it may be necessary to receive intravenous treatment at a local hospital to replenish fluids.
