Question
Children often mention having a stinging pain in the chest area, which can be intermittent or occur in continuous episodes. Previous ECG results have shown normal. Do you need further medical assistance? Should a 24-hour ECG monitoring be conducted?
Answer
Based on your description, the chest pain may be caused by intercostal neuralgia, and unless there are other discomforts or abnormal symptoms, it is unlikely to be a heart condition. It is recommended to undergo a detailed examination for diagnosis and to take proactive treatment measures. In daily care, attention should be paid to diet, enhancing physical resistance, avoiding adverse stimuli, and taking an adequate amount of vitamin C, B vitamins, and other nutrients. Regional pain can be relieved by taking painkillers such as Anrak, or consider using acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods, and also combine with psychological adjustment and suggestive therapy. In most cases, the condition can be improved.
