Patient: My daughter’s feet were swollen significantly at birth and were designated as Turner’s syndrome by the local hospital. After some treatment, her feet were no longer swollen when she was 1 week old, and now, the child is 15 months old. A month ago, due to a viral infection with diarrhea, the child’s feet are even more swollen than at birth, and her toes are bent down.
Massage, swimming and micronutrients
My child’s feet are swollen, how can I get relief from this disease?
The human chromosome test is 45.XO, and there are no other abnormalities in the heart. Zhang Jing, Department of Pediatrics, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University Zhang Jing, Department of Pediatrics, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University: From the information provided, some of the symptoms and tests are consistent with the diagnosis of Turner syndrome, but the description is too simple.
It is recommended that more detailed information be provided.
If the diagnosis is correct, the edema in children’s feet is generally lymphoedema, which usually subsides on its own after the first year of age, but the edema that has subsided after your daughter’s diarrhea has reappeared and is more severe.
The treatment of growth hormone in this disease should be dynamically observed for changes in the child’s height, and treatment is usually started when the height is below the 5th percentile of the normal growth curve for girls. Patient: Thank you for your answer, what I would like to ask again is, my daughter is now 16 months old and her height is 75 cm, is her height normal now and how many cm should the child be no less than at the age of two. What should I pay attention to and what kind of treatment should I do before taking growth hormone?
After she was hospitalized and treated with rehydration fluids, her feet became even more swollen than they were after she was born (originally the top of her feet were swollen, but now the top of her feet and ankle bones are swollen), and now she has contracted pneumonia.
She is now 16 months old and has had frequent illnesses (flu, pneumonia twice, diarrhea once, etc.). Is it necessary to take some immunity-boosting drugs, and if so, what kind of drugs are better to use? Zhang Jing, Department of Pediatrics, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University: The average height of a 16-month-old girl should be 78.9 cm, with a minimum value of 72.9 cm for two standard deviations.
The average height of a 2-year-old girl is 86.5 cm, and the lowest value of two standard deviations is 79.9 cm; her current height is on the low side.
However, it can still be observed dynamically. Growth hormone is not necessary at this time, but proper nutrition is needed.
The child should pay attention to the amount of fluids, not to overdo the salt supplementation, and to limit the dietary salt as well, and apply hot compresses and elevate the lower limbs.
According to the current number of illnesses, there should not be immune deficiency problems, but this disease is prone to autoimmune diseases, so pay attention to observation.
