Hello,
Chest pains are not common in children. Asthma can cause chest tightness feeling and it might be related to it because asthma is generally worse at night and this might be a sign of uncontrolled asthma.
It is important to have a check with his doctor and check the child to make sure which is the cause of the pain and get the proper treatment.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
