Some parents may occasionally correct their children's homework posture, but they will not take it too seriously. They think that children will naturally correct themselves when they grow up, but they don't know that such a small bad habit may bring serious consequences.
Recently, a 13-year-old girl from Hengshui, Hebei Province was admitted to the hospital because of her incorrect posture in doing homework. After examination, the girl was diagnosed with severe scoliosis.
According to the doctor who attended the clinic, when the little girl first arrived at the hospital, she had high and low shoulders. After the second screening, the girl was found to have severe scoliosis. After communicating with the girl's parents, the doctor found that the girl's posture in writing homework was not correct, which led to scoliosis about one year later.
The doctor also said that the girl's current situation, if not treated in time, will lead to shoulder height, leg length and even physical deformity in the long run. Not only does it affect children's health, but children are also easily ridiculed and excluded by their classmates because of their looks at school, which leads to inferiority and autism.
According to relevant data, the probability of adolescent suffering from scoliosis in China is as high as 5.4%, which means that one in every 20 children suffers from scoliosis. The most terrible thing is that some children have severe scoliosis, and parents still don't know where to treat them.
The doctor reminds: Parents should pay more attention to their children's living habits and sitting posture. For postural scoliosis like the girl mentioned above, it is completely possible to intervene in time. Therefore, parents usually find that their children's sitting posture is not standardized, so they must promptly remind them to correct it. If scoliosis has formed, be sure to take your child to the hospital in time.
When I was a child, the teacher would teach every student the correct sitting posture. Now I know that incorrect sitting posture will have such serious consequences.
Postural scoliosis, children will show high and low shoulders. Parents can still find it in time, but in daily life, children have a symptom that is easily overlooked by parents, that is: low back pain.
Perhaps in our daily life, low back pain is still relatively common for adults, mostly caused by cervical spondylosis, muscle strain, scapulohumeral periarthritis and so on. And most of them are fine.
What about the baby? According to a foreign study, the proportion of pediatric emergency patients with low back pain is less than 0.4%, which means less than 1 patient in 200 patients. Do you think the probability is low?
However, children with persistent or worsening back pain often have tumors or infected lesions. 6 1 child with low back pain was followed up. Among them, 32 children had serious lesions, and 9 of them were found to have infection and tumor lesions.
Do you feel terrible to see here? Small problems may hide big problems, so what are the danger signals that parents of children with low back pain should pay attention to?
For adults, low back pain is probably muscle strain caused by long-term work, but for children, especially children under 4 years old, this situation hardly exists. Therefore, for young children, if there is low back pain, parents must pay attention to taking their children to the hospital for examination in time to eliminate the causes of tumors and infections.
If it only hurts a little, it will be fine in a few months. Parents can observe it first. However, if there is severe pain, persistent pain, even reflected in the buttocks and lower limbs, and the pain affects the daily activities of children, parents must pay attention to it and take their children to see a doctor in time.
If the child has back pain and fever, it may be spinal infection or paravertebral infection, such as osteomyelitis and spinal abscess. If back pain is accompanied by fever and weight loss, it may suggest malignant tumors, such as leukemia and lymphoma, which parents need to pay attention to.
In addition, the past medical history is also very important, and doctors need to combine the child's previous situation to determine the initial diagnosis direction. For example, if a child with a history of malignant tumor has backache, it is necessary to rule out the possibility of metastasis in time; People who have been in contact with complicated patients in the past need to check whether it is spinal tuberculosis in time for low back pain.
Finally, I hope every child can grow up healthily and worry-free!
