My 12 yr old son has had chest pains on right side when inhailing for 3 days. pain not improving. can he wait until monday to see a doctor? no cough/f
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Chest pain, especially on the right and associated with breathing suggests the origin to be chest wall ( bone, muscle, etc.) pain instead of cardiac, etc. If there is shortness of breath, lightheadedness or fever and cough, earier evaluation is recommended.
