Question
What causes baby’s ribcage eversion?
Answer
There are two main causes of baby’s ribcage eversion: one is simple rib development deformity, and the other is caused by rickets. The vast majority of children with ribcage eversion are due to rickets. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for examination and blood calcium testing, and to make a diagnosis based on comprehensive evaluation whether the child has rickets. If diagnosed with rickets, treatment with calcium and vitamin D supplements can be chosen. At the same time, assist the child in performing chest expansion exercises to correct chest deformities caused by rickets.
