Low Ig-G levels

My dd2 was admitted to hospital last November with pneumonia, we came home after a week and she is fine. However, they found she has a slightly low Ig-G level and we have had follow up blood tests which suggest this is her normal level.

Her latest tests results are Ig-G 473. Ig-A 77 and Ig-M 66.

We have another appointment at the hospital at the end of March, the Dr was going to talk to a professor at her old university about it and get back to me.

Dd2's normal pediatrician seems to think it is nothing to worry about and some people just have low immunity.

I am confused, is it ok for a nearly 7 year old to have the immunity of a 1 year old? Should we be trying to find out why it is low and what we can do to boost it? Should we just accept that this is the way she is?

If anyone has any insight into this I would be very grateful
