What causes chest pain and pain on deep breathing?
Patient: Hi, I have a twevle year old daughter who while playing basketball feels like pain in the chest and then says it hurts when she takes a deep breath but after sitting down and resting for a while the pain goes away on its own. What does this all mean? Doctor: Hi,Welcome To Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern regarding to your child’s health.Chest pain occurs after playing basket- ball because of muscle pull /stretch injury while playing. Apply ice on affected area 5-7 times in a day for 10 minutes. Also apply Voveran gel (for external use only) on the affected area 3-4 times in a day. Just simply apply it. Do not rub it.After 2-3 days, if pain remains, then you should go for tablet Vetory-MX (if no allergy) twice in a day for 3-5 days. Also add tablet Dompan-SR (if no allergy), once in a day for 5 days.After doing all these I hope your child will get well sooner and please share your review about my answer on healthcare magic.Take Care,Thank You.From:- Dr. Prashant Shah
