Patient's question:
Fluorosis is caused by excessive intake of vitamin D.Doctor's answer:
?The rib cage flaring you mentioned requires imaging tests to determine if there is a pathological condition. Additionally, blood tests should be conducted to measure calcium levels. If necessary, calcium and vitamin D supplementation should be administered as symptomatic treatment. As the child grows older, the gradual development of the chest wall will lead to some improvement in the rib cage flaring. The results of trace element tests are for reference only. The most important thing is to assess the child's clinical presentation. If rib cage flaring is present, it should still be considered as potentially caused by vitamin D deficiency.
