Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my daughter is three and just over the past few weeks i have noticed that the bottom of her sternum by the xiphoid process is enlarged. should i be alarmed? she states no pain. never noticed it on her before and now all of a sudden. curious what your thoughts are
I have gone through your question. Don't worry. Prominance of xiphoid cartilage is a perfectly normal finding. If it's not associated with any pain or difficulty in breathing, then no treatment is required at all.
