Patient: When I went to the hospital two months after birth, the health care doctor said that I was suffering from congenital funnel chest? Liang Jianhua, Department of General Thoracic Surgery, Guangzhou Children’s Hospital: 1. Two months after birth, chest depression does not mean congenital funnel chest. 2, there are some children due to pneumonia or other lung diseases after birth resulting in shortness of breath can also lead to chest depression, but as the child grows up will slowly get better. 3.Because we generally believe that no special treatment is necessary before the age of three unless the chest depression is extremely serious and leads to compression of the heart and lungs. 4.Since the situation you describe is relatively simple, it is best to go to the hospital when you have time and let an experienced pediatric thoracic surgeon take a look.
