What is the cause of white spots on children's nails?

The condition of nails can reflect the health of the human body to a certain extent. It is very common to see white spots on children's nails, which usually recur. Since the nails are exposed to the outside for a long time, they are easily damaged. For example, fingers get stuck in door cracks, nails are squeezed or collided, etc., which causes damage to the nail matrix cells at the root of the nails during production, resulting in white spots. There is no need to worry about this situation, but it may also be the following diseases.

There are three possible reasons for white spots or white spots on the nails. One is that if you often have stomach pain, it may be roundworms. The second is poor digestion. The third is the lack of certain trace elements in the body.

The general symptoms of ascariasis are poor appetite, abdominal pain, or diarrhea, constipation, and may even cause malnutrition, anemia, poor intellectual development and other symptoms. Due to the stimulation of toxins, symptoms such as restlessness, irritability, fright, and bruxism may occur, and may even cause serious complications such as ascariasis intestinal obstruction, biliary ascariasis, ascariasis appendicitis, peritonitis, and allergic pneumonia.

There is a high possibility of lack of trace elements. For children, there is a possibility of worms in the stomach, but your child is only one week old, so the possibility is extremely small. There is a high possibility of calcium deficiency. Check if the child is easily frightened or crying. Newborn babies should be given an appropriate amount of calcium supplements, which can be strengthened through diet, such as using calcium-containing milk powder. Not only should calcium be supplemented, but also the absorption of calcium should be promoted. VD can promote absorption, and sun exposure can also convert some substances under the skin into vitamin D, which promotes calcium absorption.

The above introduces to you the reasons why there are white spots on the nails. Every child is the center of the family. The healthy growth of a child is not only related to the child’s future destiny but also to the happiness of a family. Therefore, if your child has any discomfort symptoms, he or she must go to a regular hospital for regular examination and treatment. Never use medications randomly and delay the best time for treatment.
