What to do if your child has kidney stones

In our lives, children with kidney stones should receive timely treatment. First of all, we should pay attention to the child's rest time and let him drink more water, limit the absorption of calcium, pay attention to the child's stool cleaning, and receive timely doctor's treatment. For the care and treatment methods for kidney stones in children, you can refer to the following.

How to care for children with kidney stones?

First, except for seriously ill children who should stay in bed to rest, other children should move more to facilitate the discharge of stones.

Second, actively prevent and treat infection.

Third, drink plenty of water. Children in the anuric period should limit their water intake according to their condition.

Fourth, closely observe the child's urine color, urine volume and characteristics.

Fifth, appropriately limit foods high in calcium, avoid foods high in oxalic acid, and avoid foods high in oxalate, such as fruit juice, chocolate, etc. You can take vitamin B6 orally to prevent stones.

Sixth, strengthen the basic care of children, change underwear frequently, change diapers frequently for infants and young children, and clean up in time after defecation.

Seventh, if you want to drink milk, it is best to drink it during the day or within 4-5 hours before going to bed.

How to treat confirmed kidney stones?

Children who are screened for kidney stones are relatively small and have no obvious symptoms. Parents will take their children home for observation, and the hospital will follow up at any time. Those with obvious symptoms will be kept in the hospital for treatment. For seriously ill children, the hospital will first adopt conservative treatment and does not advocate surgery. Instead, we test the urine, control the infection, and allow the child to urinate to expel the stones. If the stones cannot be expelled and kidney failure occurs, surgery will be performed. However, it is not an open surgery, but treatment through ureteroscopy or cystoscopy.

The above are some methods for treating kidney stones in children. I hope parents and friends can keep them in mind. If you feel any discomfort in your body, you must seek timely treatment. Otherwise, it will easily cause other complications, and the consequences will be immeasurable. Finally, I would like to thank you all for reading.
