Suggest Treatment For Indentation Under The Right Chest

My one year old has an indentation under her right chest. The ribs there curve in, but are there. It doesn t appear to bother her, but she was recently diagnosed with a mild heart murmur. We will see a specialist to make sure it is innocent but are worried and looking for some reassurance until we go in

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
It is very difficult to say what it is until a detailed examination is carried. If the indentation is present since the birth then it might be functional. Other congenital anamolies needs to be ruled out.
Don't worry, she will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Thanks.
