Patient's question:
Just found out my child has pectus excavatum, and the rib flaring is a bit severe. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the child has pectus excavatum due to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to supplement calcium for the child and avoid eating some cod liver oil, which can promote calcium absorption. Wishing you good health.Children's physical resistance is relatively weak, so they are prone to pectus excavatum. For parents, don't be impatient. It is important to take the child to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medications should be used reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
