What is the cause of the baby's sternum eversion?

Every child is very important to the family. Children are the bridge of emotional communication between couples. So each of us hopes that our children can grow up healthy and happy. However, we always encounter some health problems on the road of baby's growth. Baby's sternal valgus is a common phenomenon. We usually know that calcium deficiency can cause baby's sternal valgus. In fact, there are many reasons for baby's sternal valgus. Let us understand what is going on with baby's sternal valgus.

What is the reason for the baby's sternal valgus: one is simple rib malformation; the other reason is rickets. Most children's rib valgus is caused by rickets. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital and ask the doctor to confirm whether the child's condition is rib valgus, whether there are other clinical signs of rickets, and then test the blood calcium. Based on these comprehensive conditions, diagnose whether the child has rickets. If rickets is confirmed, treatment is required. The amount of calcium and vitamin D supplementation is determined based on the results of the laboratory tests. At the same time, pay attention to helping your child do chest expansion exercises, which can help improve the chest deformity caused by rickets.

It is recommended to try oral calcium gluconate and icosin, get more sun exposure and eat more bone soup, crucian carp soup and lean meat. Children under 2 years old usually need 400-600 mg of calcium per day. According to a normal diet, children only get two-thirds of the required calcium from food every day, so they must take extra calcium every day to make up for the missing one-third of calcium. In addition, there are a series of regulatory mechanisms in the human body to control the intake of calcium. If the body has enough calcium, the intestines will absorb less calcium, and vice versa. The excess calcium will also be excreted from the body with urine and feces. Therefore, excessive oral calcium intake will not cause poisoning, and parents can let their children take it without worry. However, vitamin D should not be excessively supplemented to avoid poisoning

We all know that babies spend the most time with their parents every day. As parents, we must observe the baby's every move. If we find any abnormality in the baby's body, we must consult and treat it in time. The baby's sternal valgus is a condition that we must pay great attention to and not always ignore it, so as not to cause more harm to the baby's future growth.
