“What does it mean when a child's chest hurts?”
My son has had chest pain for three days now. What does it mean when a child's chest hurts?
1 Answer
Where on the chest is it hurting? Upper chest pain can sometimes be throat or esophageal. Mid-chest is often lungs or rib pain. Does coughing or movements make it worse? Lower chest pain can sometimes be abdominal such as ulcers or gallbladder. If pains persist, you would need to get him checked.
