Question
My child is now six years old and has a slightly bulging chest. I’m wondering if it will become more severe in the future?
Answer
This condition could be chicken chest or other chest diseases. You can try gently pressing on it to see if there is tenderness. If it’s chicken chest, it’s recommended to increase the intake of digestible calcium during the early stage. If the bulge is noticeable, it’s advisable to have a medical check-up. You can also regularly take your child for health check-ups to measure their normal development. It’s also recommended to supplement some cod liver oil for your child.
