Chest Pain, Infection, Left Arm Pain, Stinging Sensation. Taking Ibuprofen. Cure?

Hi .. My daughter is 11 years old she has had chest pains for the past 3weeks we have been to the a&e and seen the dr about 5 times they did x ray and blood test everything is clear but they said she had chest infection and gave her antibiotics but since last night her left arm is hurting and her fingers is stining and painful too. I am very worried. She is also taking ibrofen tablets

chest pain along with a left arm pain and stinging sensation in the fingers sounds to me like a cervical nerve being trapped.
Most commonly seen in cervical spondylysis or if a cervical rib is present which is putting pressure over the nerve.
Get an xray of the cervical spine and see an orthopedician for further help.
Another possibility can be a SLE which will cause such pain however left arm pain is something unusual.
