Question
My child was diagnosed with osteoporosis at 16 years old, and the condition was first noticed at 3 years but not properly treated. Now, the front of his chest is pigeon-chested. I would like to know if there are any treatment methods?
Answer
Osteoporosis often develops in children between 1 and 2 years of age and has now entered the post-syndrome stage. Treatment is more effective when discovered early, but since the bones have already set, making changes is more difficult. Currently, it is recommended to supplement with calcium and pay attention to posture and perform appropriate corrections to gradually improve symptoms.
