Hello! Thanks for putting your query in XXXXXXX I am a Gastroenterologist (DM). I appreciate your concern regarding your daughter.
Pain on right side of the abdomen radiating to shoulder blades and across the chest may be due to hepatobilliary disease involving gallbladder, liver or billiary tract or may be due to involvement of diaphragm, or may be due to pleural or lung involvement.
