Sunken fontanel

2020-03-28 09:14:30
I have a baby whose fontanel has been sunken. I think it's because we have jumped her in joy to make her happy. Can anyone please tell us the treatment of this as she has recently been vomiting and is unable to eat something. She's 8 months old.

Sunken fontanelle is a sign of dehydration. Your baby is also not feeding well along with vomiting. This baby need to be evaluated. Cannot give treatment without evaluating this child.
