Answer
Hello, the child is seven and a half years old and has been complaining of pain in the left chest area recently. Pay attention to rest and wear loose clothing. It should be a developmental phenomenon for the child. Are there any swelling lumps? You can first check them out. If it’s not an injury, there’s no need to worry; take appropriate doses of Dabuyin Wan. I suggest paying attention to rest and not squeezing the lump with your hands, as this may cause more irritation. You can apply regional heat compresses and massage, and undergo a breast color Doppler ultrasound for an accurate diagnosis.
