Question
The doctor pointed out that a lack of vitamin D may increase the risk of rickets, and has prescribed my child Calcidol. However, my child does not lack calcium, and the doctor said that rickets is not related to calcium, but vitamin D seems to help with calcium absorption. My child is now 7 months old, and the fontanelle seems to have closed. Could this be related to the vitamin D supplementation?
Answer
Hello, an early closure of the fontanelle in a 7-month-old child is a matter that requires attention. It is recommended to actively investigate to determine the possible cause or disease condition.
