What Causes Chest Pain The Child?
Our six year old daughter has been complaining of chest pain on her right side along her rib cage. She says it hurts more when she swollows or breaths in sharply. When we ask her to take a deep breath she says she can t. She does not seem to have a fever and she is not coughing. She has had mild chest and stomach pain in the past that have gone away after a few hours, but the pain has never been this bad.

Hi,
From history it seems that without having any signs of respiratory tract infection and having chest pain while deep inspiration or cough reflex indicates that she might be having some muscle injury after some fall or strain while playing.
Give her ibuprofen syrup for 2-3 days.
If problem persisted then consult your doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care.
