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 doctor for cough, and the doctor said it was pigeon chest caused by long-term calcium deficiency! But my family has always drunk milk and has good nutrition, just a bit less sun exposure!Doctor's answer:
To the parent. From the photos, it's not particularly obvious that the breastbone is deformed, but there is some clear rib flaring. These are mainly due to changes in the child's bones during infancy, caused by a lack of vitamin D in the body. The main function of vitamin D is to enhance the metabolism of calcium in the body. Even if there is a slight change in the bones, it will never interfere with future life. It is recommended to have a test for vitamin D and trace elements at the hospital. If there is a deficiency, it should be addressed promptly.
