Patient's question:
Who can help me see a doctor? Is it pigeon chest for the child to be three years old! The day before yesterday, I took my child to see a cough doctor who said it was pigeon chest caused by long-term calcium deficiency after percussion. But our family has always drunk milk and has good nutrition, just a bit less sun exposure!Doctor's answer:
To the parent. From the photos, the chest is not particularly prominent, but there is some clear rib cage flaring. These are mainly due to changes in bone development during infancy caused by a lack of vitamin D in the child's body. The main function of vitamin D is to enhance the metabolism of calcium in the body. Even if there is slight bone deformation, it will never interfere with future life. It is recommended to have vitamin D and trace element tests at the hospital. If there is a deficiency, it should be addressed promptly.
