Can someone please tell me if this is normal?
I’ve called 111 and waiting for a call back from doctor. She’s eating/drinking fine, wet nappies and been pretty much happy all day. This doesn’t look right to me though?? She’s been ill for 2 weeks and nothing is shifting her cold. Just keeps getting worse! Any advice would be appreciated because nurofen and calpol is not doing anything x

Thats a subcostal recession. It’s a sign your LO is having to work a little harder to breathe. Other signs would be a similar pull and recession in the neck, rapid breathing rate (dependant on age), nasal flaring or grunting. If you have any of those I would take LO to be seen by GP or if out of hours ED.
Does she have a cough? She could have croup, as that can make it harder to breath

Check her neck, if the base of her neck when she breathes in is super exaggerated and is concave when she breathes might mean she is struggling to breathe. Based on the video alone it doesn't look like she's breathing under her ribs just looks like she's taking deep breaths but mama no best so if ur worried always just take them to gwt check better safe then sorry x
