What to do if your baby's toenails are uneven

The baby's body's defense system is not yet fully developed, so it is easily stimulated by the external environment, and sometimes it is easy to get sick if not careful. Some parents will definitely find that their baby's toenails are uneven, which makes them wonder. Generally, babies experience this condition due to calcium or zinc deficiency. Of course, it may also be caused by some infectious disease in the baby. Let’s take a look at the reasons why this happens.

1. Nutritional deficiency: It has been observed that long-term hunger, paralysis or immobilization of fingers, etc. can cause slow growth of nails. Iron deficiency anemia and Raynaud's disease, which causes acromial ischemia, can both cause uneven nails. This shows that uneven nails are also related to nutrition. Generally speaking: this type of diseased nail symptoms indicate a lack of calcium, protein, and sulfur in the body. These nutrients can be obtained from eggs and garlic, and patients are advised to consume them regularly.

2. Weather reasons: Autumn has arrived, the weather is getting cooler, and it will be even colder as winter approaches. The cold weather can cause blood vessels to constrict, slow blood flow, aggravate peripheral tissue hypoxia, and cause uneven nails.

3. Fungal infection: Infection caused by bacteria due to lack of attention to personal hygiene can also cause uneven nails. If the symptoms of the nails are not only depression and unevenness, but also yellowing and thickening, then it must be onychomycosis, which requires timely hospital examination and treatment.

Vertical lines on nails

If the nails show vertical lines and are not smooth, it is generally due to poor immune function and easy to catch colds. Overwork and overuse of the brain are also important reasons for the vertical lines on the nails. If you do not get enough sleep, the vertical lines will appear very clearly. If you do not take care of yourself, it may be that the organs in your body have begun to become diseased. As the disease progresses, the nails will become more uneven and even crack.

If you find vertical lines on your baby's nails, mothers should pay attention to it, adjust the baby's schedule, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, do not arrange too much extracurricular tutoring, talent training, etc. for the baby, you should give the baby more time to play freely, let the baby exercise more, not only can relax the body and mind, but also can enhance the baby's immunity. In terms of diet, mothers should also pay attention to let the baby have a balanced diet, strengthen nutrition, drink more milk, eat three meals on time, try not to take the baby out to eat, and make more nutritious soups for the baby.

The above is just for your reference. I hope it will be helpful to you. If you find that your baby has this situation, you must pay attention to supplementing your child's diet to ensure balanced nutrition. If the baby doesn’t like to eat something, it is recommended that parents make the food cuter so as to attract the child’s attention.
