What Causes Asymmetrical Ribs Protrusion?
ive just bathed my 6 1/2 month old daughter and noticed that her ribs on her left side appear to be protruding more than on her right side. She doesnt appear to be in pain with this but ive not noticed this before. She is currently on antibiotics for a chest infection and conjunctivitis. Is this anything to be worried about??

Hi.... as long as it is not causing her any problems or any physical symptoms you need not worry about it. The usage of antibiotics and recent lower respiratory tract infection is not related to this. Vitamin D deficiency is a remote possibility and I suggest you get her evaluated for this.
