Patient's question:
Child is 5 years and 9 months old. Is it pectus excavatum? If it is, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
Hello, children with chicken chest are relatively common in infancy. It is a disease caused by vitamin D deficiency, leading to disorders in calcium and phosphorus metabolism in the body, resulting in poor bone calcification.Suggestions: Consider using high-dose vitamin D3 treatment. Consume more calcium-rich foods in daily life, such as dairy products, fish, shrimp shells, kelp, and bone soup. At the same time, eat more vitamin D-rich foods, such as pork liver, lamb liver, and beef liver, to promote calcium absorption.
