The baby's ribs are not the same height

Parents may sometimes find that the ribs on both sides of their baby are not at the same height. Don’t worry when you see this situation. The ribs on both sides of normal people are not completely symmetrical, but the difference is small and not easy to find. There are many reasons why babies may experience this condition, sometimes it is due to body position. When calcium is deficient, it can also cause bone deformation and rib eversion. Let’s take a closer look at it below.

If your baby has the condition you described, it may be caused by calcium deficiency. In this case, you can take your baby to the pediatric department of the hospital for a clear diagnosis and check whether the baby is calcium deficient. Generally, it may be due to rib eversion. After the diagnosis is confirmed, the baby may need calcium supplementation.

Because children grow rapidly and have little outdoor activities and sun exposure, they often suffer from insufficient calcium absorption, leading to various symptoms of calcium deficiency.

Under normal circumstances, the two sides of the human body are symmetrical, but please note that it is only symmetrical and not absolutely symmetrical. Therefore, there may be differences between the two sides of some people, but other problems must be ruled out first. If there are no other issues, there is nothing. No need to worry.

If children do not get enough sun exposure, they may also suffer from calcium deficiency. The different heights of the ribs are caused by calcium deficiency in a certain period of time before, not that they will definitely be deficient in calcium now. If a child is often sick, you should consider whether it is due to low immunity. It is recommended to check the child's immune function. If the child is really immune-deficient, you can give the child immunoglobulin to enhance resistance. If you do not want to take blood products such as immunoglobulin, you can also take amino acids. To reduce the chance of children getting sick, in addition to taking amino acids to improve resistance, it is important to do a good job of daily health care and conditioning. As the saying goes, "three parts medicine, seven parts conditioning", which means that prevention is better than cure, and it is important to strengthen the care of children. When the weather changes, please add or remove clothes and blankets in time, wipe off sweat in time, and when your child is older, educate him or her not to exercise too vigorously. If your child sweats a lot, especially on the head and neck, you can use the Chinese patent medicine Yupingfeng Granules to reduce sweating and thus the chance of catching a cold. You can also take your child to the massage department of a traditional Chinese medicine hospital and ask the doctor to do pediatric spinal massage, which can enhance immunity. By the way, you can learn to do it for your child yourself. Just do it for five minutes every morning and evening, and after a period of time, you will find that your child is less sick.
