What Causes Pain Near Rib Cage?

My 4 yr old daughter has had pain in her left side near rib cage for 5 days now. I took her to the dr yesterday and they ran a cbc test and it came back normal.. I have been alternating Tylenol and motrin for 24 hrs now and it is still hurting her. What could this be? I figured it would be better by now, but seems to only be getting worse!
