What should be done if the child is not growing tall and has pectus excavatum?

Patient's question:

The child's eating habits are okay, but they're not growing taller. Recently, I've noticed they have a bit of pigeon chest.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering the lack of calcium, you can adopt calcium supplementation treatment, such as Didac or Gan Zhong Gai, etc. Eat more foods high in calcium content, such as chicken, bone broth, etc.
There are many causes that can lead to pediatric endocrine diseases. If a child is diagnosed with pediatric endocrine disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in children and maintain a balanced diet.
