What Causes Pain In Bottom Of Ribs Of A 9 Year Old?
My 9 yr old daughter is complaining of pain on both sides just at the bottom of her ribs. She claims she did not fall or hit them. They have not had outside recess all week because of the rain. What could be causing this pain? She is eating fine and has had a bowel movement.
Hi....sometimes trivial viral illnesses which do not even present with fever can cause such symptoms due to inflammation of the costochondral junctions. It could pass off spontaneously or it could get worse too and sometimes even lung infection too presents with similar symptoms. I suggest you consult your kid's pediatrician and get her we examined. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
