My daughter was playing basketball and got hit in the chest.... at first she said she couldn t breathe or it was difficult. ..no outwards signs of bruising, but the area in the middle of her chest is hard and she still has some discomfort... this happened a hr ago ... I gave her 400 mg advil and told her to put ice on it
Hi, It seems that there might be having muscular strain giving this problem. But as there is hardness in middle of chest and discomfort there is chance of having displaced fracture of rib. Go to ER and get examined. Ok and take care.
