Patient's question:
The baby is one and a half months old. The doctor previously diagnosed rickets, and recently it has been found that there is mild pigeon chest, with a protrusion that can be felt with the hand. What should be done about mild pigeon chest and rickets?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you. According to your description, the baby's condition is caused by calcium deficiency. If a baby is calcium deficient, it can easily lead to rickets, pigeon chest, and rib symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended that you give the baby calcium supplements and coordinate them with vitamin D drops. The child is threatened by rickets, so the mother must take the child to see a doctor immediately for treatment to avoid various misunderstandings and to receive timely symptomatic treatment. For parents, it is important to carefully observe changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
