Patient's question:
What medication should be used to treat my father's rickets and pigeon chest? He cannot have surgery except for diabetes.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there is no need for surgical treatment for rickets and pigeon chest in the elderly. However, for conditions that affect chest size and cause breathing difficulties, corrective surgery may still be necessary. People with high blood sugar have poor surgical tolerance and need to use hypoglycemic drugs to lower their blood sugar to below 8, otherwise they do not meet the surgical criteria. Currently, calcium can be digested, and vitamin D can prevent osteoporosis.
