Question
A child around 5 years old has been complaining of leg pain recently. I don’t know what’s going on, how can I tell if they have pectus excavatum?
Answer
Based on your description, pectus excavatum can generally be diagnosed through visual examination. It is recommended to treat it properly, increase nutrition, supplement vitamins and trace elements, and undergo calcium supplementation. Also, consume a diet that is easy to digest and absorb. In addition, you can have a blood calcium test to assist in the diagnosis and can take calcium tablets such as Ge Zhong Gai, which is quite effective. It is suggested to eat more foods rich in calcium, such as fish and bone broth. Pay attention to rest and nutrition.
