What Does Expanding Ribs Mean For A Child?

My 11 yr. old daughter said her chest feels like it s burning. She had a chest. X ray and they said that her ribs were expanding. What does this mean? Should I be concerned? (I m sorry I can t tell you more. Her father and I are divorced and he was the one who took her to the doctor today. He didn t tell me anything except to give her ibuprofen and watch her breathing. And my daughter can t really explain what the doctor said after her chest x Ray.)
