Patient's question:
Today, I discovered that I don't know what's going on, the baby has been growing and developing very well. Doesn't cry. Appetite is also very good. But the left ribs are noticeably higher than the right.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is likely rib flaring. There are two reasons for infant rib flaring: one is simple rib developmental deformity; the other reason is rickets-induced. Most children's rib flaring is caused by rickets. If diagnosed with rickets, treatment is necessary. The dosage of calcium and vitamin D should be selected based on the results of detailed laboratory tests. At the same time, pay attention to helping the child perform chest expansion exercises, which can help stabilize the chest deformity caused by rickets.
