What can I do about my baby's left rib sticking out?

Answer by  tamarawilhite (17883)

If your child's ribs are noticeable, then your child may be underweight, and you need to see a doctor. If only one rib sticks out, see a doctor immediately.

Ask your child if they are in pain. If so, go right to the hospital, but even if not, I would still either go to the hospital or at least to your family doctor. This isn't normal, and could cause serious breathing problems, and make your child in a lot of discomfort.

Your baby may have broken a rib,do not try any fix it at home methods. Don't try to push it back in or tape it because you may pucture a lung or other vital organs. I suggest you take the baby to the doctor immediately and have a medical examination done.

Can potentially be from scoliolis, or possibly pigeons breast. There isn't much to be done as long as there is nothing medical involved.
