There is no harm in a single X-ray for children, but repeated X-rays may cause some damage to the cells and tissues in the body.
X-rays are one of the more common tests in clinical radiology, which can confirm the diagnosis of pneumonia, bone fractures and other diseases. X-rays are a kind of radiation with a small amount of radiation, and there is no harm in taking them only once in a while.
However, if irradiated frequently, children are still in the growth stage, and the rays will gradually accumulate in the body, which may cause certain damage to the body’s cellular tissues, such as killing white blood cells, and immune deficiency.
If X-rays are really needed in the clinic, it is recommended to listen to the clinician’s opinion. Normal X-ray filming will not cause any damage to the body’s health, so parents should not worry too much, so as not to delay the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
