Question
A child has outwardly curved ribs, a high forehead, slow growth, sleeps on their stomach, and is underweight. Is it possible they have kyphosis?
Answer
Based on the description, the child may have issues with calcium deficiency or poor calcium absorption, which could lead to symptoms such as weak constitution, excessive sweating, restless sleep, and lack of appetite. It is recommended to use medication (such as VD3 intramuscular injections and oral osteogenic granules or active calcium effervescent tablets) to help with the absorption and utilization of calcium. If the child is affected by kyphosis, medical treatment should be sought immediately to avoid misdiagnosis and to receive appropriate treatment.
