Pre-teen Athlete Experiencing Pain and Difficulty Breathing Posted: 06-10-06 21:24pm
My daughter has a pain under her left rib
cage for over 2 days now. She feels the
pain when berthing in. It started last
Friday after coming from a Gym training.
Pian increased and went to a hospital.
They examined and found nothing. Pain
killers were given, pain decreased to 3/10
(from 9/10). She is at home and for last 2
days she has persistence pain (around
(7/10). Pain is low when left leg is
folded. She has a sore throat and a little
high temperature. She is generally very
healthy girl. What it could be? What
should we do?
You can request further examinations for
your daughter such as an ECG and an X-ray
image of the chest. Standard blood/urine
analyses are also recommended . I can’t
speculate about possible disorders without
certain analyses and examinations. You can
try to find a diagnosis through a
pediatric physician, as well.
