What causes synovitis in children?

Pediatric synovitis is a disease with a high incidence rate among boys, especially boys aged 3-6. This is the most active period of their life and they especially love to run and jump. However, since the femoral head of children of this age is immature, if they are too energetic and make too much noise, it may cause injury to the joint capsule and cause synovitis. Next, let’s take a look at the causes of synovitis in children and the usual dietary prevention methods.

Causes of synovitis in children

Children suffer from synovitis mostly because their femoral head is not yet fully developed and their joint capsule is relatively loose. During excessive abduction and external rotation movements such as strenuous jumping, the joint capsule is pulled or squeezed, and then infected by a virus, resulting in synovial edema and aseptic inflammation of the hip joint.

The cause of the disease may be related to viral infection, trauma, bacterial infection and allergic reaction (allergic reaction), and the onset may be acute or slow. Pediatric synovitis is generally caused by the child suffering from acute upper respiratory tract infection, or cold symptoms, the virus or infectious substances enter the bloodstream, through the bloodstream stimulate the hip joint synovium, causing synovial congestion, exudation and other acute inflammation, resulting in pediatric hip synovitis.

diet

Eat less milk, goat's milk and other dairy products, as well as foods containing tyrosine, phenylalanine and tryptophan, such as peanuts, chocolate, millet, cheese, and toffee, because they can produce arthritis-causing mediators such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, tyrosine kinase autoantibodies and anti-milk IgE antibodies, which can easily cause allergies and cause arthritis to worsen, recur or worsen.

Eat less fatty meat, high-animal fat and high-cholesterol foods, because the ketone bodies, acids, arachidonic acid metabolites and inflammatory mediators they produce can inhibit the function of T lymphocytes, easily causing and aggravating joint pain, swelling, bone decalcification and joint damage.

Eat less sweets, as their sugars can easily cause allergies, aggravate the development of joint synovitis, and easily cause joint swelling and increased pain.

Drink less alcohol, coffee, tea and other beverages, and be careful to avoid passive smoking, as they can aggravate the deterioration of arthritis.

You can eat more animal blood, eggs, fish, shrimp, bean products, potatoes, beef, chicken and beef "tendon" and other foods rich in histidine, arginine, nucleic acids and collagen.
