Tenosynovitis is a common chronic disease. Some 2-3 year old babies may suffer from tenosynovitis, which brings a lot of pain to the baby. The common site of tenosynovitis in babies is the fingers. In addition to pain, severe children may also experience deformation in their finger joints. Will the baby's tenosynovitis heal on its own?
The occurrence of tenosynovitis in babies is mostly due to congenital joint stenosis. If timely treatment measures are not taken, it often becomes more and more severe. Therefore, the possibility of self-healing of tenosynovitis in babies is very small. When encountering a baby with tenosynovitis, parents should intervene and treat it as soon as possible, otherwise it may affect the growth and development of the baby's joints and bones, causing deformities in the baby's joint parts, and even directly affecting finger flexibility.
Usually it is conservative treatment. Although it can temporarily alleviate the pain caused by tenosynovitis to babies, it is difficult to completely cure tenosynovitis. The commonly used method for treating tenosynovitis in babies is surgical treatment, which involves using minimally invasive surgery to widen the narrow joint area.
Many parents feel that their baby is so young that surgery can cause a lot of pain, so they choose to wait until the baby is a little older before treatment. However, the editor suggests that it is best to treat the baby as soon as possible. The earlier the treatment, the less impact tenosynovitis has on the development of the baby's bones and joints. In addition, babies with tenosynovitis should try to avoid exerting force on the affected area as it may worsen the pain.
