My baby is 10months old and i noticed her right rib is protruding out ... im really worried . may i know what is happening ?

Needs exam: There are several possibilities for this that can only be sorted out with a direct exam and possible testing. I wouldn't loose sleep over the issue for now, but I would schedule a doctor visit in the next few weeks so the issue can be addressed.
