Questions

  • Is the size of the infant’s fontanelle normal?
  • Why can’t I see the pulsation inside the fontanelle anymore?
  • If the pulsation inside the fontanelle is barely noticeable with a finger, is that normal?
  • What should we do and observe in this situation?

Answers

  • A swollen fontanelle may indicate increased pressure within the brain, suggesting that you should take your baby to the hospital for a check-up to confirm and treat the condition promptly.
  • If it is diagnosed as a small amount of cerebrospinal fluid accumulation, there is a chance that the body can absorb it on its own.
  • In this case, it is advisable to closely monitor your baby’s general condition. If there are no other abnormalities, you can keep an eye on it for now.
