Question
My daughter is 9 months and 3 weeks old. Last night while bathing her, I felt a noticeable prominence below her sternum, which I hadn’t noticed before. It’s visible when she lies flat and breathes!
Answer
Your situation may be due to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to supplement with calcium and add vitamin A to promote calcium absorption. In addition to symptomatic treatment for pediatric orthopedic correction, patients should consult experts and maintain communication with their doctors. Patients also need to pay attention to nursing aspects, such as eating a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for treatment to ensure good therapeutic effects.
