Hello,
It could be a musculoskeletal pain or conditions like costochondritis. As first-line management, you can give paracetamol syrup according to body weight. If symptoms persist better to consult a pediatrician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
