What are signs of an embolism? my son uses an asthma pump again after dormancy for 3 yrsand has intermittent pain in his lung. should i consult?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get evaluated: I NEVER saw a lung embolism in a kid/asthmatic or not in 4 decades of practice. Lung pain is often a sign of a focal pneumonia or other treatable issue. I would have him seen by his doc or at urgent care.
