What treatment should be administered?【Past Treatment and Effectiveness】：No medical consultation or treatment has been sought or received. 【Desired Assistance】：I hope to receive comprehensive and timely treatment to correct the pectus carinatum.
Answer
For the correction of pectus carinatum symptoms, the primary approach is to engage in exercises and perform stretching movements to accelerate recovery. Firstly, perform the palm push exercise by having the child bend their elbows and place their palms facing each other in the middle of their chest, breathing evenly and pushing against each other with force for a while before relaxing. Next, do the hand-knee push exercise by maintaining a seated position, crossing your hands in front of your body to press against the opposite knee, pushing outwards while inhaling and keeping the thigh and knee in opposition, then relax after a while. Lastly, perform the hand-held weight lift exercise by placing your palms together in front of your chest and lifting a weight, which can be books, dumbbells, or bricks, etc., inhaling while lifting with force and exhaling while relaxing.
