Subject: Re: bone malformation Topic Area: Normal Child DevelopmentPosted by Mumugou on May 28, 1999 at 14:28:20My little boy is 4,5 years old and I noticed about 2 months ago that his chest wasn't even. You can feel the bone much higher on the left side. My doctor didn't seem concerned and just told me to watch it. Could it be because he is very skiny, or because he is growing ? Or could it be a lack of vitamins like calcium or vitamin d. Or could he be suffering from rickets ?
Posted by HVM Ph.D. -KDK on June 01, 1999 at 15:26:10 Dear Mumugou, Our expertise, and the focus of this forum, is on childhood behavior. Your question is not one which I regard myself as qualified to address. Do not, however, hesitate to inquire of your son's pediatrician and to ask the very questions you posed here. They are very reasonable.
