What Causes Inflammation Of Chest Walls And Ribs In A Child?
Good Afternoon Dr. Rynne, My 11 year old daughter has been complaining about chest pain since November. I have taken her to the ER; her EKG was clear. Unfortunately, I do not have the paperwork in front of me with the name of their diagnosis. I was hoping you could give me the official name when their is inflammation of the chest walls and ribs (it starts with a c.) Can you please help?
