Patient's question:
My child, who suffers from rickets, has developed noticeable pigeon chest again. Their diet is also poor. Is the pigeon chest caused by rickets? How can it be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
According to the information you provided, the chicken breast is likely caused by rickets, which is due to a lack of vitamin D. It is recommended that you wait until the baby has fully recovered from coughing before having a thorough check-up for vitamin D and trace elements. If there is a deficiency in vitamin D, it needs to be addressed; otherwise, even if calcium is supplemented, it will be difficult to absorb. The child is at risk of rickets, so the family must take the child to see a doctor immediately for treatment to prevent the symptoms from being alleviated with blind medication. For parents, it is important to closely observe any changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
