Probably: There are many causes of chest pain in children. Interestingly, chest pain is rarely due to heart diseases in children. Overall, probably the most common causes of chest pain are musculoskeletal. These include strained muscles, inflamed joints along the ribs, bone pain, etc. Some children have pain related to lung problems, including asthma ; pneumonia. Esophageal disorders (reflux) exist.
