Q.

Why my child’s head fontanelle are not fused yet? He is 2 years old. Is there any calcium deficiency to him?

1 Answer

Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy11 months ago

A. Fontanelles are present in all infants, crucial for brain development, and typically close by 18 months, sometimes by 2 years. Ensuring the child has no calcium or vitamin D deficiency is important, as these deficiencies can delay fontanelle closure.
