Question

Should I be concerned about my child’s pigeon chest?

Answer

Hello, parents, if your child has a condition known as pigeon chest, it may be related to calcium deficiency. It is advisable to take your child for a health checkup, including tests for trace elements and alkaline phosphatase, to assess the calcium status of the body. If your child also exhibits symptoms such as excessive sweating and restlessness, it is important to administer vitamin D and calcium supplements promptly for correction. Mild cases are usually correctable.
