My 9 year old son is complaining his chest/ribs hurt. His does not a fever or cough. We think it might be from all the sports he has been playing but this has been going on for several weeks. Could this be growing pains? His father has a condition where his chest has grown inward instead of expanding outward. Could this be the same thing?
Hello dear!I would like to have a detailed physical examination of your child including visual assessment to check the symmetry of the chest wall. Secondly in my opinion it could be because of the sports and exercises.I would advise you to give him some good calcium supplements and a diet full of calcium and vitamin D.hope it will help. Wishing your child good health. Stay blessed.
