Patient's question:
The ribs are asymmetrical, with one side significantly higher than the other, and the protrusion is more pronounced. If it's rickets, would it be necessary for both sides to be outwardly rotated? The child fell off the bed 2 months ago, but there was no abnormality detected at the time. Could it be a fracture?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this could be rib flaring. If it's a fracture, the baby would be in pain, so we can rule out the possibility of a fracture.Advice: It is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for blood calcium and trace element tests as soon as possible. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, targeted treatment should be implemented early. In daily life, let the baby lie on their stomach more often, avoid letting the baby walk too early, and do not let them stand for too long! Wishing the baby healthy growth.
