Question

In recent years, I have been experiencing poor health, unable to engage in intense physical activities, and have difficulty breathing and even fainting when emotional excitement occurs. After examination, I was diagnosed with congenital funnel chest.

Answer

Dear parents, if your baby is diagnosed with congenital funnel chest at birth, it is indeed necessary to supplement vitamin A, D, and calcium supplements early on. It is recommended to increase the intake of vitamin D3 or vitamin A and D supplements, and encourage your baby to get plenty of sunlight. The mother should also supplement calcium, and it is advisable to have the child’s blood tested at a hospital. In addition, consider administering vitamin D3 injections for your child’s muscle.
