The baby s nails have small white spots, crescent moons, and barbs, what s going on?

Don't worry about this, there are small white spots that may be accidentally damaged by the baby's nails when playing.

Barbs are caused by babies playing underground or playing with toys, and they can be avoided by washing their hands frequently and cutting their nails.

After the baby enters autumn** is too dry, there will be barbs. If the baby is not particularly unwell, you can leave him alone, the small crescent will slowly come out, if there are symptoms of a cold and illness, you should go to the doctor as soon as possible.

This situation is considered to be caused by the baby's lack of nutrients, and you can check the trace elements for the baby to see what the baby lacks in the body.

<> baby has barbs on his fingers, is it a lack of vitamins?

A: No, it is not. Long barbs are often caused by the baby's nail circumference** being too dry, and the cuticle is separated from the underneath**. In addition, the baby's scratching and touching, the fingers are rubbed, and it is easy to grow barbs.

Although there is no clear explanation mechanism for white spots on the nails in medicine, we have found that some people with calcium and zinc deficiency will have this condition. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for trace element testing, determine**, and carry out accordingly**.

Growth and development are inseparable from six major nutritional elements: protein, fat, starch, vitamins, mineral elements, and dietary fiber. Mineral elements play a full range of roles in the growth and development of the human body, from the construction and repair of body tissues, to physiological metabolism and enhance immune function, and even have the effect of direct disease prevention and treatment.

Mineral elements are called macro elements (such as calcium, magnesium, etc.) according to their daily requirements of more than 1/10,000 of human body weight, and trace elements are called less than 1/10,000. At present, among the 14 essential trace elements confirmed by the World Health Organization (WHO), zinc ranks first. White patches on the nails are usually not a specific disease, but may be a symptom of mineral deficiency, and it is necessary to comprehensively analyze whether there are other changes in the body.

Some parents report that their children are easy to wake up from sleep at night, sweat a lot, and are prone to leg pain and cramps after strenuous exercise, which are all manifestations of calcium deficiency, also known as growing pains. The symptoms of zinc deficiency in children are ** no luster, yellow hair, ringworm on the face, poor eating, slow growth and development, decreased immune function, and easy to get sick. At present, the method of checking trace elements and calcium in hospitals is simple, and only a drop of peripheral blood is needed to detect it.

Children with the above symptoms can be tested and carried out as soon as possible**. As the saying goes, "medicine is not as good as food", to prevent children from lacking calcium and trace elements, we should usually pay attention to the diversification of dietary intake, the reasonable combination of coarse and fine grains, the nutritional intake of vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs and other nutrients should be balanced, and the bad habits of partial eating and picky eating should be corrected. You can regularly eat calcium-rich foods such as shellfish, soybeans, milk, nuts, kelp, beef, etc.; and zinc supplementation foods such as oysters, pork liver, fish, high-zinc eggs, chestnuts, walnuts, red dates, yellow eel, sea cucumber, yeast zinc, etc.

In addition, sun exposure can effectively help calcium absorption, and it is best to spend two hours outdoors every day, which can not only enhance physical fitness, but also play a role in preventing rickets.
