Understand what your child lacks in one second

The health of babies is something that almost every parent is extremely concerned about. Usually, if the baby sneezes or the color of the stool changes slightly, the mother will be very alert to see if the baby is sick. In fact, many diseases have signs. Even small nails can be a barometer of the baby's health! Let's take a look at the baby's health "warning" brought by changes in nails!

[Hangnails: Unbalanced nutrition, lack of vitamins]

Do not tear off the hangnails with your hands, use nail clippers to cut them off; let your baby eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins, and apply skin cream on your baby in dry weather.

【White spots: gastrointestinal discomfort, anemia, malnutrition】

Mothers can take their babies to the hospital for a check-up to confirm whether they are suffering from malnutrition or a lack of trace elements, and then supplement the corresponding nutrients in the food.

[Small pits: eczema]

If your baby's nails have small dimples, the nail plate is thin and dull, go to the hospital for a check-up based on the baby's overall condition to confirm whether he or she has any skin disease.

[Half-moon deep red: anemia, heart disease]

A dark red half-moon on the nail is a sign of heart disease, while a light red half-moon is mostly caused by anemia. At this time, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis. Adding iron-containing foods to the diet, such as soybeans, beef, spinach, raisins, etc., can prevent anemia.

【Strange color: fungal infection】

Other strange colors are often caused by fungal infections. Keep your baby's hands clean and dry. It is also important to isolate yourself from family members who are infected with the fungus. If you accidentally get infected, cut off the affected nail and apply ointment to treat onychomycosis. It will be effective if you persist for a period of time.

[Rough nails: Vitamin B deficiency]

Feed your baby more whole grains and vegetables, especially to change the baby's picky eating habits and give the baby a balanced nutrition. You can add egg yolks, animal liver, mung beans and dark green vegetables to the diet.

【Thin and brittle nails: Malnutrition】

A thin and brittle nail plate is mostly caused by nail malnutrition, and protein supplementation is needed. You can give your baby more high-protein foods such as fish, shrimp, walnuts, peanuts, etc.
