Is it harmful to take X-rays of babies?

When a baby is sick, it is the saddest time for the mother. Many times when the baby is sick, the mother will handle it by herself if she can. When the baby has some diseases and needs to go to the hospital for examination and treatment, it is very likely that the baby will need to be X-rayed. Everyone knows that X-rays are harmful to physical health. If the baby is X-rayed, the mother will be more worried and nervous.

Hazard 1

X-rays have a certain killing and destructive effect on biological cells, so the human body will produce certain physiological reactions after being exposed to X-rays. Excessive exposure will also cause tissue damage, affect physiological functions, and even cause life-threatening dangers. However, moderate exposure will not affect human health. Because when medical staff conduct examinations, the dose used for X-ray fluoroscopy and photography is very small, and is limited to the safe dose. If the doctor needs to repeat photography or fluoroscopy, he will also consider extending the examination time.

Hazard 2

2X rays have certain radiation effects on the human body, so we advocate that if there is no necessity for the examination, you should try to avoid such examinations, especially for infants and young children, who are relatively sensitive to radiation. Therefore, this involves the issue of radiation justification, that is, whether there is a need for the baby to be examined, and this necessity and the radiation effects it receives should be weighed through argumentation.

Hazard Three

When you have another checkup in the future, you can ask the doctor to do some radiation protection for the parts of your child other than the one being checked, so as to better avoid the impact of radiation on your child. Because your child is young, you should do a good job of ideological work on your child before or during the checkup, and ask him to cooperate with the doctor to avoid repeated checks due to failed checks (such as the child's lack of cooperation or non-standard limb positions during the checkup). You can consciously supplement your child with some nutrients to improve his physical fitness and enhance his body's resistance, which is beneficial to preventing radiation damage and recovery from illness.

Note:

X-rays have a certain killing and destructive effect on biological cells, so the human body will produce certain physiological reactions after being irradiated by X-rays. Excessive exposure can cause tissue damage, affect physiological functions, and even pose a life-threatening risk. But moderate exposure will not affect human health. If it is not necessary, it is better not to use X-rays, as these rays are harmful to the human body.
