Patient's question:

What is the reason for the peeling and falling off of a child's fingernails?

Doctor's answer:

Hello friend, according to your description, I wonder if the baby's nail has ever been injured or damaged. In general, if there is damage to the nail, it may fall off. Additionally, paronychia may also cause the baby's nail to fall off. I suggest you take the baby to the hospital for a check-up.
Hello, the condition of the baby may be caused by a lack of trace elements. You can take the baby to the hospital for a trace element check. The most likely causes are insufficient levels of elements such as protein, calcium, sulfur, zinc, or vitamins A, B, and C. It is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables, consume foods high in calcium, ensure a sufficient and nutritious diet.
