How is pigeon chest treated?

My daughter is one and a half years old, and she was diagnosed with pigeon chest today. She has been sweating excessively and has taken calcium supplements in the past. Today, she received a D3 shot. I want to know if there is a possibility of recovery?

Answer

Pigeon chest can be improved through surgical treatment

Pigeon chest is a common congenital chest deformity characterized by abnormal growth of the sternum and ribs, leading to indentation of the anterior chest. Currently, treatment mainly focuses on surgical correction, and there have been significant advancements in minimally invasive surgical techniques in recent years. For the baby’s condition, it is recommended to consult a specialist doctor and choose the appropriate treatment timing and method based on professional advice. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery and healthy growth.
