How is it best to treat pediatric pectus excavatum?

Patient's question:

I always feel uncomfortable. How can pectus excavatum in children be treated best?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the situation you described: The child has pectus excavatum, which is caused by congenital calcium deficiency, apart from genetic factors. When this condition occurs, it is necessary to pay attention to timely calcium absorption, which can help control the expansion of pectus excavatum. However, once the bones have already changed, they cannot be restored to normal. Therefore, the only option is to control the expansion of pectus excavatum through calcium supplements.
