Q: 4-yr old daughter weighs about 15kg started to cough and develop a fever which lasted for a week, and ended only after two weeks with antibiotics. The centre of her chest had 'sunk' a little.
She started to cough again last week, and this time with a lot of phlegm and a runny nose. GP said she lacked calcium. I've been advised to sunbathe her for 10-15 min every morning. I'm worried she'll suffer from malnutrition.
A: likely to be Harrison's sulcus, the most frequent cause of this condition is a prolonged cough or increased breathing effort in children. Your daughter should undergo a thorough evaluation.
