Question

My child is three years old and has just had a ventricular septal defect surgery more than twenty days ago. Since the surgery, the child has developed weak chest bones. How did this condition occur? What should I do?

Answer

Based on your description, this may be a postoperative complication. I suggest you don’t worry too much and go back to the hospital for a re-examination; usually, there should be no major issues. This may be related to bone growth. I hope my answer can help you.
