Patient's question:
What is the cause of costal cartilage protrusion in children and is it serious?Doctor's answer:
??????Hello, mom, the baby has costal cartilage protrusion, which may be caused by calcium deficiency. It is recommended that the mom take the child for a timely examination, including checking trace elements and alkaline phosphatase to assess the calcium levels in the body. If the child also has symptoms such as excessive sweating or being easily startled, timely administration of vitamin D and calcium supplements should be given to correct the condition. Mild cases can be corrected.
