Patient's question:
Hello doctor! My baby has a funnel chest. He is now 3 years old. When he was 2, the condition developed, and it hasn't been treated yet. I just wanted to ask if this funnel chest can be cured and how long it will take to get better. Is funnel chest serious?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for your situation, you should take preventive measures as early as possible to avoid serious expansion. This deformity requires surgical correction. You can undergo pulmonary function tests. If you recover well after surgery, the likelihood of recurrence is very small. The older you are, the higher the likelihood of recurrence. It is recommended that you seek treatment early to increase the likelihood of recurrence. Actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
