What should I do if my child's nail falls off

When a child's nails fall off, there are several situations. First of all, if the nails fall off accidentally, you need to go to the hospital to check whether there is a problem with the body. Early detection and early treatment are required, and no delay is allowed. If the nail loss is caused by accidental injury, you must pay attention to timely disinfection to avoid infection. You need to use gauze to treat it and change the dressing frequently. In order not to affect the regeneration of nails in the future, you can apply olive oil to the baby to assist growth.

Causes and solutions for nail shedding:

1. There are many reasons that can cause nail shedding, the most common of which is onychomycosis. It is recommended to go to the dermatology department of the hospital as soon as possible to determine the cause first, and then treat it according to the specific situation. Suggestions: Lindsay's nails: half of the nail near the tip is pink or brown, and the half near the nail is white. This type of nail is also called two-section nail, which may be a sign of chronic renal failure. From the color of the nails: nails turn white, acute symptoms are seen in blood loss and shock; chronic symptoms are seen in anemia, hookworm and gastrointestinal bleeding, late-stage tuberculosis, cor pulmonale, etc.; if they are as white as frosted glass, it is a characteristic of cirrhosis; nails turn white, thin and soft, which is more common in chronic wasting diseases. Nails turn yellow, which is a lack of vitamin E.

2. If it is caused by trauma. Nail damage caused by trauma will slowly fall off. And new nails will grow. Pay more attention to hand hygiene in daily life. You can protect the injured nail with a Band-Aid or gauze.

You should often trim your child's nails that grow outwards to prevent them from picking off their nails out of play. The new nail grows outwards slowly. If your nails are longer, just cut some of the old ones.

3. It is recommended to use some olive oil to protect your baby's nails from time to time. As long as you persist in doing it, the baby's nails should be able to grow again, but there will be some defects.

The baby is deficient in calcium and zinc. Use iodine to disinfect and apply some Daktarin ointment every night. Wash the nails with hot water during the day and apply the liquid in vitamin E on the nails. At the same time, give the baby calcium supplements. Take pediatric Diqiao calcium for 2 weeks and then take zinc gluconate for 2 weeks.

Treatment:

⒈ Eat more foods high in calcium, such as: milk, yogurt, cheese, loach, clams, snails, dried shrimps, shrimp skins, kelp, fried fish, oysters, peanuts, sesame paste, tofu, pine nuts, cabbage, cauliflower, cabbage, rapeseed, etc.

⒉ Do more sports (exercise can make muscles pull each other, strongly stimulate bones, strengthen blood circulation and metabolism, reduce calcium loss, delay bone aging, and at the same time help the body absorb calcium in the diet. Suggestions: Get more sun exposure (ultraviolet rays can promote the synthesis of VD in the body and facilitate calcium absorption.

3. Ultraviolet rays cannot penetrate glass so you cannot sunbathe through glass). Or use the ZZ-2 ultraviolet therapy device to irradiate the skin to promote calcium absorption.

⒋ Eat a good breakfast (the human body’s ability to absorb calcium is strongest in the morning).
