Question

What should I do if my child has a hard lump on their ribs?

Answer

For a hard lump appearing on a child’s ribs, it is recommended to undergo surgical removal treatment. Since medication or other conservative treatments are not very effective and there is a one percent risk of cancer, it is advisable to undergo surgery as soon as possible. Moreover, patients should pay attention to daily care, including dietary adjustments such as eating more vegetables and fruits, as well as calcium-rich foods, to avoid or reduce the likelihood of illness.
