My daughter is getting lots of chest/sternum pain and had diffuculty breathing at times. She is very healthy and sporty. We have tried ventolin for the breathing and anti-inflamatories but nothing really helps. Any ideas? tongiht she has gone to bed in tears with a pain of 9/10. she is just 12yo.
Get an x ray of the chest first. Tearing type of such bad intensity in sporty patients occur due to either osteochondritis ot spontaneous sternal fracture
