Chicken breast is a common chest deformity, and its symptoms are as follows: the front wall of the chest is wedge-shaped like the sternum of birds, which is also the origin of "chicken breast"
Children with chicken breasts not only affect the cardiopulmonary function, reduce the resistance of respiratory organs, but also affect the children's physical beauty, thus causing psychological burden to children and even becoming a lifelong pain for children.
First of all, the causes of these two deformities are:
1. In the fetal or infant period, the development of sternum, spine and ribs is unbalanced, resulting in 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.
If the chicken breast is light, it can generally disappear naturally with age; Heavier ones will last a lifetime.
Therefore, parents should take their children to the hospital, ask the doctor to diagnose the cause, and then prescribe the right medicine. At the same time, children should be encouraged to do some corrective exercises that help to expand their chests and enhance their respiratory function.
1, breathing exercise, stand with your feet shoulder width, relax, close your eyes slightly, lift your arms slightly forward to the top of your head, inhale at the same time, pause for a while, let your arms droop naturally, accompanied by deep exhalation, several times a day, each time 10 minute.
2. Push-ups or lifting dumbbells to do arms forward lifting exercises, 3 to 4 times a day, each time 10 minutes.
Turn the tendons on the parallel bars on an empty stomach every morning, but don't be too tired.
4. Jogging helps to enhance visceral activity, increase respiratory ability and improve thoracic dysplasia.
