Question
Is it normal for a baby’s fontanelles to be of uneven size? Do there exist differences in the size and closure speed of fontanelles among individuals?
Answer
Based on the description, if a baby’s fontanelles have not closed by eight months and are uneven in size, it is recommended to conduct a trace element test to determine if there is a deficiency in calcium, iron, zinc, and other elements. If diagnosed with a deficiency, symptomatic medication should be administered without supplementing unnecessary elements. Additionally, taking the baby out in the sun more often can help with calcium absorption, and continuing to take Icacin brand Vitamin AD drops is also advisable.
