Patient's question:
Recently, I took my child to the hospital for a health check-up. The doctor said the child has mild pectus excavatum. I was terrified at the time and didn't know what to do. Please ask, for mild pectus excavatum in children,Doctor's answer:
Pectus excavatum is mostly caused by calcium deficiency, so it's important to actively supplement calcium. Get a trace element test and a bone density test. Also, as the child grows older, it will gradually improve. By the time the child is 5-6 years old, it should be much better. Doing more chest-expanding exercises can help develop the chest cavity, which may alleviate the pectus excavatum. In the future, it may not be as noticeable. It's recommended to give your child more lean meat, fish, shrimp, eggs, tofu, green vegetables, and supplement with fish oil. Also, get more sun exposure.
