Question: A one or two-year-old girl discovered white spots on her nails some time ago. Is she missing something? Or are there worms in your stomach? In addition, her spleen and stomach have been bad, and the color of her stool is also abnormal. Should she do a trace element test to find out the reason? Dr. Luo Zhen answered: It is very common for babies to have white spots on their nails, mostly caused by collisions and squeezing by active babies. The baby has no other discomfort. The small white spots will slowly move to the fingertips as the nails grow. They will disappear after being trimmed. It has little to do with roundworms in the belly or malnutrition. If your baby has a bad spleen and stomach, you must pay attention to a balanced diet. You can give your baby Xiaoer Fupi Granules for conditioning for a period of time. For one month, take half a pack each time, three times a day. There is no need to test trace elements for children, this reference is of little significance. Question 2: The baby was breastfed and was not yellow when he was born. Later, he found that he was a little yellow. On the 10th day, he went to the hospital to test for jaundice. The doctor said it was not high, so he did not buy any medicine. But now it’s been 33 days and it’s still a little yellow. What should I do? Is it breast milk jaundice? Dr. Zhu Xiwei’s answer: If you are one month old and still have jaundice, it is recommended to check blood routine, liver function, and bile acids to find the cause of jaundice. You need to stop breastfeeding for 3-5 days to see if it is breast-milk-related. If the jaundice subsides by more than 50%, it means breast-milk-induced jaundice and will not affect future breastfeeding. Question 3: The baby is one year and eleven months old. The bone density test shows that the bone age is four years old. What should I do? Will it make any difference to be so far in advance? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: This kind of examination is unreliable. Go to a large hospital to check the bone age. If the bone age is really advanced so much, intervention is needed, otherwise it will affect the child\’s growth.
