Can children eat breakfast during physical examination?

Physical examination is a very important activity, which is crucial for timely discovering disease factors in the body. Especially for children, physical examination needs to be taken more seriously, otherwise it will have a great impact on the results of the physical examination. The more important item in the physical examination is blood test, which is an important matter for checking the internal organs. Generally, adults need to fast for breakfast when having blood test. Let’s take a look at whether children can eat breakfast during the physical examination?

Generally speaking, you cannot eat, because the examination will involve tests on the digestive tract, liver, and gallbladder functions, and eating will affect the test results. Of course, if you don't check these two items, there is no problem with eating.

Children's physical examinations generally include examinations of height, weight, facial features, color discrimination, vision, hearing, internal medicine, blood pressure, and lung capacity. A person's blood pressure and laboratory test indicators will change within 24 hours a day depending on factors such as a person's activities and diet. In particular, blood sugar will rise within 2 hours after a meal, the gallbladder will contract, and intestinal gas will increase after activity, affecting the development of the pancreas and kidneys. These factors will affect the results of the physical examination, so the physical examination must be performed in the morning and on an empty stomach. The following are other points to note when inspecting the items.

1. Do not urinate on an empty stomach in the morning;

2. Do not engage in strenuous exercise;

3. Blood is drawn for routine blood tests and various biochemical tests. You cannot eat before blood is drawn;

4. Chest X-ray, electrocardiogram, blood pressure, body temperature, height, weight and other general examinations. (Rest for 20 minutes before ECG and blood pressure measurement.)

Disease screening for obese children: Finally, obesity disease screening should be done because if a child is too fat, he or she is likely to suffer from high blood pressure, fatty liver, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and it will also affect the child's intellectual development. Therefore, parents must control their children's weight and not let them become too obese.

When checking, it is necessary to check the child's psychology, because most children nowadays are only children. Many children have communication barriers when they are outside and live only in their own world, which leads to autism or autism. Therefore, psychological treatment is needed to improve this situation.
