What should I do if my son has pectus excavatum?

Patient's question:

The son is 21 years old, and his chest is uneven, resembling a funnel chest, but there are no symptoms.

Doctor's answer:

If the condition is not severe, it has no significant impact on internal organs and does not affect daily life, so it's not a big deal.
Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more prone to developing funnel chest. For parents, it's important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a professional hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medication should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
