Hi,

Is the pain related to exertion or deep breathing? Any palpitation or cough? Chest pain can be from other causes as well, like pleural inflammation following respiratory infection / flu, chest wall inflammation etc. If not associated with palpitation, and pain is not related to exertion, we need not worry much now. Try taking Acetaminophen for 3 days. If pain is not coming down, we can evaluate further.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
