My 5 yr. old grandson has a protruding rib cage,his chest is normal, his stomoch is flat ,but the bottom of the rib cage sticks out, My daughter sent me a photograph of him at the water park, and brought it to my attention. Is this just his shape, or is it a symptom of something? He is a very happy active boy. WORRIED gRANDMA.
Hi...this seems to be a normal phenomenon as he is an active kid otherwise, or it could be a Rectus caricature. To be sure I suggest you upload the photos of the kid on this website or consult the kids regular pediatrician. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help.
