Question
My child has been acting up lately, often crying and fussing, and the hospital check-ups haven’t yielded any results. I want to ask if radiographic examinations could pose any harm to children.
Answer
Radiographic examinations for children generally pose a low risk if conducted under medical guidance and with appropriate dosages. However, unnecessary radiation exposure should be minimized, whether for children or adults. If the child experiences discomfort, it is recommended to try oral medications such as Wind Pain Tablets or Loosen Muscle Balls, or consider traditional Chinese medicine treatment. At the same time, good hygiene habits and a reasonable diet can help improve the child’s health condition. If the child is diagnosed with respiratory system issues, timely medical treatment should be followed, including measures such as gastrointestinal decompression. Avoiding picky eating and maintaining a balanced diet is also an important factor for the child’s healthy growth.
