Question
I didn’t know he had this condition, and he’s not feeling well either. What does pectus carinatum look like?
Answer
This may not necessarily be pectus carinatum. Pectus carinatum is a deformity caused by calcium deficiency, where the sternum is abnormally prominent in the middle, resembling the shape of a chicken’s chest. You can take your child to the hospital for a check-up to confirm. If it’s another kind of deformity, treatment can also be initiated early. Children’s health care issues have always been a concern for parents, and when treating this disease, it is important to consider general treatment methods. Only by using regular methods can family members help children recover from their illness quickly, without affecting their growth and development. Therefore, it is hoped that parents should pay attention to their children’s conditions and take them to the doctor for treatment in a timely manner.
