Problem analysis:

Chicken breast is a common chest deformity, and its symptoms are: the front wall of the chest is wedge-shaped like the sternum of birds, which is also the origin of "chicken breast". Generally, the causes of this deformity are 1. In the fetal or infant period, the development of sternum, spine and ribs is unbalanced, leading to chest deformity. 2. After babies are born, they can't get enough nutrition and suffer from some malnutrition diseases, such as rickets in children, which will affect the development of sternum for a long time and cause thoracic deformity. 3. Secondary thoracic diseases. For example, some congenital heart diseases, the enlarged heart compresses the chest wall, forming a chicken breast deformity.

Suggestion:

If it is caused by simple calcium deficiency, calcium can be supplemented. If other disease factors need further treatment, it is best to take time to go to the local hospital for detailed examination before treatment.
