Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Even though there is no fracture, chest pain could be due to injury to the surrounding musculature which may take little more time than back pain to subside. Do not panic. Avoid lifting weights which puts strain on the injured part. Take analgesics, oral and topical Diclofenac gel, if necessary. Assure your child that pain will subside slowly.

I hope I have answered your question. If you have further queries, I'm happy to help you.
