What's wrong with the baby's sunken temples?

The birth of a newborn brings a lot of happiness and warmth to the family. However, mothers are always worried about whether their babies are sick, whether they have eaten enough and slept well, or whether they have caught a cold. These are all normal phenomena. Sometimes, mothers will find that their baby's temples are sunken, and sometimes they shake as the baby drinks milk. So, what is the reason for the baby’s sunken temples?

In fact, there are three reasons for sunken temples.

Firstly, due to the family's own genetic characteristics of the skull, the temples are naturally not full, which is one of the most common phenomena of sunken temples; secondly, thin people have less subcutaneous fat, which can also cause sunken temples, making the whole face lack a sense of streamline; as age increases and time passes, the subcutaneous tissue of the temples begins to shrink, resulting in sunken temples.

The temple is called the pterion in anatomy. It is the junction of the four skull bones: frontal, temporal, sphenoid and parietal, and is concave. The different curvatures here cause different degrees of concavity! The bone plate here is very thin and can easily be fractured by external force. There is also a middle meningeal artery on the inside which is extremely easy to be damaged, causing danger!

It may be due to congenital skull dysplasia or external force after delivery. It is better to go to the hospital for examination.

We advocate solving the problem of sunken temples in infants through surgical filling. However, because infants are young, it is important to choose the right time for surgery. Generally, the problem of sunken temples can be solved through surgery.

Treating a baby's sunken temple is a very simple thing in the eyes of many elderly people. They believe that letting the baby sleep on his side can cure the symptoms of sunken temples. In fact, letting your child sleep on his side can indeed alleviate the symptoms of sunken temples to a certain extent, but it does not cure the condition. The best way is to go to the hospital and seek help from a doctor to solve this problem.
