What should children eat to recover quickly after a fracture?

Fractures have had a serious impact on people's physical health in life. Many patients cannot work normally because of fractures, and even bring great trouble to their families. It can also cause many serious problems. Whether it is a child or an elderly person, you can eat foods that can promote bone repair after a fracture.

What should an elderly person eat if his hand is fractured?

1. In the early stages of a fracture, you should drink more water, eat more vegetables, eggs, soy products, fruits, fish soup, etc. Because the fracture is in the early stage and the affected joint is still in the blood edema stage, you should avoid eating sour, spicy, greasy, hot, bone soup, fat chicken, and other overly nourishing foods to avoid causing blood stasis. The early stage of fracture is generally 1-2 weeks.

2. In the middle stage of fracture, you can appropriately consume foods with high nutritional value, appropriately supplement calcium, and appropriately consume bone soup, chicken soup, animal liver and other foods to meet the growth needs of bone callus. The mid-term fracture period is generally 2-4 weeks. If the wound is still in severe pain or is obviously red and swollen during this period, it is advisable to apply medicated wine locally to reduce inflammation, promote microcirculation and repair damaged tissue.

3. In the later stages, dietary recommendations for fracture patients are that because callus growth has already begun, patients only need to continue to consume foods with high nutritional value. The late stage of fracture is generally more than 5 weeks. If there is still dull pain in the affected area during this stage, it is advisable to use Chinese herbal medicine for local medicated baths every day to eliminate internal congestion and avoid developing rheumatoid arthritis.

In addition to the above dietary precautions, the diet of fracture patients can be based on the different dietary needs of the three different stages of fracture: early, middle and late. The diet at different stages should meet the needs of different stages rather than blindly supplementing. Blindly supplementing will affect the recovery of fracture patients. Patients should pay attention to dietary conditioning.
