Question: my 12 year old daughter woke up this morning and near her right rib cage its indented a little, she had a slight pain but nothing serious. is there anything we can do --is this something to be concerned about?
Brief Answer:
Get done chest x ray first.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
By your description, I don't think anything serious.
But better to get done chest x ray to rule out any rib related pathology.
So get done chest x ray.
If x ray is normal and no rib pathology is detected then no need to worry much.
Apply warm water pad on affected site.
She can also take simple painkiller for pain relief.
The pain is mostly musculoskeletal pain.
Hope, I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing good health to your daughter.
Thanks.
