What should be done if a child's pectus excavatum affects their development?

Patient's question:

The child discovered it at the age of 2-3. They had X-rays taken at the hospital, and it was said that it would improve as they grew older. Now the child is 7 years old, and it is getting worse. Yesterday's X-ray slightly affected the cervical spine. The child has a lot of phlegm.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, it is likely caused by a lack of calcium or trace elements. You can get a trace element test done. Try taking Scherl, cod liver oil, and multivitamins orally. It will gradually improve. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Children have weaker immune systems, so they are prone to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents, don't panic. You should take your child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. Also, pay attention to regular check-ups for your child and use medication reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
