Suggest Cause & Remedy For Back Pain In Children
Hi, my 7 year old daughter has been complaining of back pain for about a week she says it's starting to hurt along her rib on one side and that it hurts when she breathes. No fever or any other symptoms but her 9year old brother is on antibiotics for pneumonia

As the pain increases on breathing, you must rule out plueritis or pneumonitis. you must visit a pediatrician for examination and relevant tests. Other cause can be costochondritis, rickets. A correct diagnoses will require proper history and examination.
