A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rarely: Mid chestt pain just under the breast bone is more often heartburn than any other cause. It can also be rib cage, lung tissue and lung lining in origin.In rare instances the linings of the heart can accumulate some inflammatory fluid and cause pain, which intensifies on reclining.If Tums (calcium carbonate) gives the kid releaf you can watch it for a while.If not see your doc tomorrow.
