Why There Is A Protruding Left Bottom Rib?
Hi my 18 month old has a protruding left bottom rib just noticed a few days ago - don't remember any injury or trauma recently. No bruising or swelling. She hasn't been upset or seemingly in pain either. It doesn't cause her any discomfort. It feels very hard and lumpy. What could this be? Any help gratefully received.

Dear patient
if your child is comfortable and has no problems you need not to worry. it may be just extra rib. if in doubt visit to pediatrician would be recommended for detailed clinical Examination.
