Medical Description: Suffering from osteochondrosis, with the right ribcage protruding since 8 years old. Previous Treatment and Effects: Used folk remedies and taken calcium tablets. Desired Assistance: Seeking treatment advice for osteochondrosis.
Answer
Hello, osteochondrosis is common in infants and young children, caused by a lack of vitamin D leading to disordered calcium and phosphorus metabolism, affecting bone calcification. During childhood, this disease is more common, primarily due to calcium deficiency. According to your description, your child may still have calcium deficiency. It is recommended that you consider having your child take a three-jing brand gluconate calcium oral solution for a period of time, which has a better effect. At the same time, you can also use cod liver oil drops to help absorb calcium.
