Why does the baby's fontanelle bulge and what to do

I believe everyone understands that the closure of the baby's fontanelle will affect the baby's brain development. All parents are good parents who consider their babies and care about and love their children. So some readers asked the editor, they found that the baby's fontanelle was a little bulging recently, what's wrong with this, will it affect the normal development of the baby's brain? What should we do if we encounter such a situation? Then let's take a look at the following content.

1. If the baby pushes hard and cries, the anterior fontanelle will bulge out, and it will be more prominent when lying flat than when standing. Because the baby is moving and lying flat when taking a bath, the mother can try to touch the baby more when holding him quietly. If the baby is always protruding, go to the hospital immediately.

2. Regarding the child’s condition, you can check the trace elements to see if there is any calcium deficiency and supplement the child in time. At the same time, nutrition should be strengthened. Children over one year old can eat some beans appropriately and eat less spicy foods.

3. It is possible that the subcutaneous bulge is caused by extravasation of the drug solution during infusion. You can apply local heat.

4. A bulging fontanelle indicates increased intracranial pressure, and the child may have meningitis, encephalitis, and vitamin A poisoning; a sunken fontanelle may be due to dehydration and malnutrition.

5. If the baby's anterior fontanelle gradually becomes full, it may be that there is a tumor in the brain, or there is fluid, pus, blood accumulation under the dura mater, etc. Long-term use of large doses of cod liver oil, vitamin A or tetracycline can make the baby's anterior fontanelle full. However, after stopping vitamin A and tetracycline, the anterior fontanelle will gradually become flat. If the baby is given adrenaline for some reason and the drug is suddenly stopped, the baby's anterior fontanelle may also become full.

The above five points are what the editor introduced to you about the causes and corresponding solutions of baby's fontanelle bulge. Please remember them after reading. Because only in this way can you not panic when your baby encounters such a situation and know what is going on. Well, finally I wish all babies grow up healthy.
