As parents, before reading this article, we recommend that we first take a look at our baby's fingernails. Some mothers say that I usually pay attention to it, I want to trim the nails of the child, so I know the situation of the child's fingernails very well.
In fact, it may not be as simple as you think. When we trim our children's nails on weekdays, we should also pay attention to whether there are vertical white spots or crescent shapes in the child's fingernails, which are not easy to pay attention to, and are likely to reflect the child's physical health.
First, about the crescent on the nails
In our ordinary people's group concept, we will think that there are crescents on the nails, and the more the better, the bigger the better, but in fact, those so-called small crescents, but the newborn keratin cells appear white, when there are new cells continue to grow, these cells may be squeezed more and more flat, forming a translucent color, and showing the shape of the crescent we see. This also shows that our nutrition through the nails shows that the state is gradually decreasing from the middle to the sides.
We can not distinguish a child's physical health by the size or number of crescents on the nails, because the efficiency and degree of metabolism of each child are completely different, so there are also certain differences in the crescent, so we can say that the crescent on the child's nails is really not more directly related to physical health or not. However, some physical diseases can still cause some changes in the crescent on the child's nails.
Babies with thyroid disease, for example, may experience a sudden change in the size or contraction of the crescent in a short period of time. At this time, as a parent, we must pay attention to it, in fact, this is not only for children, even if we adults are the same.
Second, small white dots grow on the nails
Especially the little boys in the family, it is easy to find a lot of small white dots on their fingernails, some people say that there are worm eggs in the child's stomach, and some people say that this indicates that the child's body is deficient in calcium.
But in fact, many of the white spots on the child's fingers are caused by trauma. So when parents find that the child's nails appear white spots, don't worry, first ask the child if there are some recent bumps? This may be the case if one remembers that the nail is damaged locally. But as parents, we should not be too anxious, because learning the growth of some children's nails, these white spots will gradually disappear, that is, children's nails have a certain ability to heal themselves.
Third, long vertical lines on the nails
We may think that this holiday should be calm, but some people's nails show obvious vertical lines touched by hand, what is going on?
Under normal circumstances, this situation is less likely to occur in children, but will be manifested in the elderly, which indicates that the person's fingernails have weakened their ability to lock water. But if this situation occurs in a child, or an adult, it can only indicate that the person is sleep-deprived, and there may even be a manifestation of neurasthenia, of course, it is also necessary to give the child vitamin A supplementation appropriately.
On the road to parenting, we are all novices, how to take better care of children, you can pay attention to me, and discuss with me those things on the road to parenting.
