Question

My child is over four years old and had a trace element test. The results showed no calcium deficiency, but the child has pigeon chest. What could be the reason?

Answer

Consider the possibility of rickets, and it is suggested to conduct a test for alkaline phosphatase. It is recommended to actively supplement vitamin D, take cod liver oil, and combine it with calcium carbonate. In addition, pay attention to diet in daily life, consuming some meats, dairy products, and soy products.
