Patient's question:
What is the reason for the baby's rib flaring?;;What are the causes?;What should be done? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None Expected help: What are the causes?Doctor's answer:
There are two reasons for infant rib flaring: one is simple rib developmental deformity, and the other is rickets-induced. Most children's rib flaring is caused by rickets. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for examination and blood calcium testing to confirm whether the child has rickets based on a comprehensive evaluation. If rickets is diagnosed, calcium and vitamin D treatment can be chosen. At the same time, helping the child with chest expansion exercises can correct the chest deformity caused by rickets.
