Question
My child is 8 months old and has a slight ribcage deformity. How should it be treated?
Answer
Scoliosis is a systemic chronic nutritional disease caused by vitamin D deficiency. The causes include insufficient intake of vitamin D, increased demand, insufficient sunlight exposure, and the influence of diseases or medications. Children have weaker immune systems and are more susceptible to scoliosis. Parents should take their child to a professional hospital for examination and treatment, and follow the doctor’s instructions for medication. At the same time, regular checks should be conducted to ensure the healthy growth of the child.
