Question
How should excessive widening of a newborn’s skull sutures be treated?
Answer
Excessive widening of a newborn’s skull sutures may be related to calcium deficiency, with symptoms including pain, excessive sweating, or seizures. It is recommended to undergo a blood calcium test to aid in diagnosis, and calcium supplements or foods high in calcium, such as fish and bone broth, can be taken. Additionally, attention should be paid to rest and nutrition. Moreover, pediatric orthopedic diseases can severely affect a patient’s quality of life, so patients should pay attention to daily care, including rest and nutritional enhancement, to reduce the risk of recurrence.
