| | Chest Pain in Children, Costochondritis |
| | Although the exact cause is not understood, a common cause of chest wall condition is called "Costochondritis" which usually occurs in pre-adolescents and teenagers; I can't help to think that it is related in some way to puberty. | | | There is no specific treatment for costochondritis, except for acetaminophen(Tylenol) as needed. | | | With puberty and growth, this soft area calcifies making it harder and for some reason, this area becomes irritated resulting in pain and tenderness. |
