What Causes Persistent Pain Around The Sternum Of A Teenager?

My 16 year old son has been having pain in his sternum region for the past several hours. He has taken 3 advil to see if it takes the edge off and has put a salonpas patch on the area, but nothing has eased the pain. It hurts when he takes deep breaths.
