Patient's question:
The daughter is now eight months old and has been breastfed exclusively. There's nothing else unusual, but I've noticed that her chest and ribs seem different. When she lies flat, her chest and ribs are very prominent. I've consulted a doctor, who said it's due to calcium deficiency. I bought some calcium supplements, but after taking them for two months, there's still no change. How can the protrusion of the pediatric chest cavity be prevented and treated?Doctor's answer:
The situation with your daughter is recommended that you still go to the hospital for a follow-up visit. Since you have been taking calcium supplements for a period of time, there have been no further changes in the interim, and it hasn't improved. Children undergo many changes, and it's hard to prevent them all. Therefore, I still suggest you go for a re-examination and choose an appropriate treatment plan based on the child's actual condition.The above is the advice for the question "How to prevent and treat chest deformities in children?"
