Some parents may notice that their children's fingernails have flipped up, and the reason for this may be due to a lack of calcium and zinc in the child's body. Due to their young age, babies have fragile nails. If their fingers are flipped over, it may cause serious damage to the entire finger and result in serious consequences. So what if the baby's nails flip up?
1. Insufficient calcium and zinc in the body can cause fingers to flip up. Mothers should take their children for a check-up to see if there is a zinc deficiency in their bodies. If it is confirmed that there is a zinc deficiency in the body, the doctor will provide the correct treatment plan. It can be supplemented by taking some calcium zinc oral liquids.
2. Lack of calcium can also lead to finger flipping or protein deficiency in the body. It is important to clean the baby's nails in a timely manner and regularly test for trace elements.
3. If the baby's fingernails flip up and there is usually abdominal pain, it may be caused by roundworms in the stomach, or it may be due to problems with the baby's digestive function. Another issue is the deficiency of trace elements. If it is severe, one should promptly seek diagnosis from a professional doctor at the hospital.
4. For younger children, they should actively supplement with cod liver oil and calcium supplements, promote calcium absorption through sun exposure, and regularly trim their nails.
