Suggest remedy for chest pain in a child
Patient: Hi. My 6 year old son has a very bad chest pain. It s on his left ( assuming his heart). He s breathing ok. This was after having lunch but we were snow sledding 30-45 min prior. This is not the first time. He had an extreme pain a couple of months ago after his soccer practice. What can it help? Please advise. I just called his pediatric and waiting to hear back. We are on vacation but if we have to, we will take him to a 24 hour clinic. Doctor: Hi...chest pain in kids of this age is very unusual. If it is associated with breathlessness or loss of consciousness then you need to seek the help of nearest emergency room. But as both these symptoms are not there - you need not worry.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
