Patient's question:
My daughter is 9 months and 3 weeks old. Last night while she was taking a bath, I noticed a noticeable protrusion in the xiphoid process area under her sternum, which I hadn't noticed before. It's visible when she lies flat and breathes!Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be caused by a calcium deficiency. It is recommended to supplement with calcium while also taking vitamin A to promote calcium absorption. In addition to symptomatic treatment for pediatric orthopedics, patients need to consult experts more often and maintain communication with doctors. Patients should also pay attention to nursing aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for diagnosis and treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
