Anterior fontanelle
My baby is 18months old and her anterior fontanelle didn't close still. It's small only as of now. Do I need to use any medications for that. In pregnancy I had hyperthyroidism. Does that have any affect on my baby now. Please suggest any medicines for closure of anterior fontanelle.

Ideally, anterior fontanelle closes by 18months of age. Please get your baby checked for vit D and thyroid level in blood and also examined directly by a pediatrician for management.
