Question

What could be the reasons for a 7-year-old child to occasionally complain of chest pain?

Answer

Occasional chest pain in children may be caused by gastritis. It is recommended that parents help their children establish regular living habits, engage in moderate physical exercise to strengthen their physique, and maintain a light diet, drinking plenty of water, and avoiding irritating foods such as spicy, greasy, and alcoholic beverages. At the same time, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene, consuming more easily digestible and absorbable foods. If the condition is severe, consider using medications such as Xiangsha Yangwei Pill and Shenling Baizhu Powder for adjustment. Additionally, parents should also ensure that their children do not picky eat or have a biased diet, maintaining a reasonable eating habit. If the child is diagnosed with respiratory system issues, it is necessary to cooperate with the doctor for active treatment, while also practicing good hygiene habits.
