Suggest Medication For Chest Pain For A 7 Year Old

I have a seven years old son & he complains of chest pains on his right side of his chest at different times not during any certain activity. But yesterday he noticed that his veins on that side were very visible & when he showed me them I was for sure that they were never that visible before. Should I be concerned?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Yes, you should definitely consult pediatrician for your son's symptoms.
Chest pain with dilated veins in a child should be evaluated for valvular heart diseases, congenital heart diseases and other vascular anomalies.
So get done
1. Ecg
2. Detailed 2 d echo.
3. If necessary Angiography.
All these reports are required to rule out heart diseases in pediatric patients.
If present, these diseases need surgical correction.
If timely detected these heart diseases are 100% curable.
So consult pediatrician and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
