What Causes Protruding Lower Rib Cage In Seven Month Old Baby?

Hey, my seven month old boy has a protruding lower rib cage. He is also usually restless. I give him five drops of Livol D a day but could it be that he just isn t swallowing it properly and has a difficiency? Went to see a doctor about this and there was an x ray taken of his chest area and because it didn t show anything abnormal the doctor said he wasn t worried, we would just have to keep an eye on this so to speak. I would really like a second opinion becouse his rib protrudes quite a bit. Thank you very much.
