Pectus carinatum

[NanLaew]

My oldest boy's pigeon chest is becoming more apparent. He's 14 next birthday. I am in Udon and have started to search locally if there's a qualified orthotist working the Udon hospitals, or possibly in Khon Kaen. If there's a specialist in Bangkok, maybe that will be the way to go.

 

In the meantime, I have done the Google sleuthing on the condition and general non-invasive treatment but it's also good to read about others personal experiences here in Thailand.

 

Oh yes, if anyone knows the Thai name (Thai script) for this condition, it will probably take a few hours out of searches.

 

Thanks in advance.

I suggest you take him to Khon Kaen University Hospital (Sringagarind) through their after hours clinic and consult either of these:

 

Prof. Kitiwan Vipulakorn

Prof. Chatchawarl Sarntipiphat

 

both are  specialists in pediatric orthopedics.

 

Prof. Chatchawrl can also be seen privately at Ratchapruek Hospital https://rph.co.th/en/doctor/chatchawarl-sarntipiphat-md/

But will cost significantly more there
