The timing of the closure of the child's brine door is uncertain, and the brine door is divided into the front brine door and the back brine door. The halogen gate usually opens and closes on its own after a period of time after the baby is born, and the closing time is between 1 and 1.5 years old. Closing too early or too late is abnormal. As parents, it is important to closely monitor changes in the halogen gland. If the halogen gland closes early, it is important to pay attention to head circumference development to ensure it is within the normal range. So what happens when the brine door closes at the time of the child's birth? What should I do if I close too early?
What happened when the brine door closed at the birth of the child
A very small number of babies have poor brain development, small heads, small head circumference at birth, and premature closure of the fontanelle before 5-6 months after birth due to maternal infection or other diseases, resulting in microcephaly.
When a few infants grow up to 5-6 months old, the fontanelle is only about the size of a fingertip and appears to be about to close, but in reality it has not ossified. This is not considered premature closure, as long as the head circumference is normal, not less than 46 centimeters at 1 year old and not less than 47-48 centimeters at 2 years old, it is normal and there is no need to worry.
What should I do if I close too early
1. It is necessary to monitor whether the bone sutures are closed and whether the head circumference is growing normally. If the head circumference is growing normally, the problem is generally not significant. Mild thyroid cysts accompanied by hyperthyroidism can affect growth and development, and require timely treatment. If not accompanied by hyperthyroidism, the impact is not significant, but regular follow-up is necessary.
2. It may be related to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for trace element testing and develop a treatment plan based on the results. Another issue is that the calcium intake may not be well absorbed or utilized by the baby, which can also affect the effectiveness. Additionally, seasonal factors such as insufficient sunlight can also affect the absorption and utilization of calcium.
After the halogen door is closed, the child can basically speak. The above is an introduction to what happens when a child's brine gate closes at birth and what should be done if it closes too early. I believe everyone understands that if the brine gate closes too early, it is recommended to go to the hospital for targeted treatment, which is very beneficial for the child's future development.
