a student of mine had severe right arm pain about 4 days ago and when he was in karate class he had severe chest pain and was winded and his right arm was in severe pain. He was taken to ER and they kept him in Childrens hospital and ran all the test and said nothing was wrong, could this be true?
Hi...it could be a myalgic or a muscular pain. Moreover, when you quote that he is involved martial arts, this carries all the more importance. The hospital would have been doubly sure before clarifying it as normal. So do not worry about it. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15\u00a0mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500\u00a0mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if pain in intolerable. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Regards -
