thank you. my 8 year old has had a green nose for the past few days, this morning she woke up crying, saying that her right side of her chest hurt. Is this something to take her to the er for?? It seems like a pain in her lung, or chest. ?? How would I treat her at home ??
Dearthanks for writing to ChatDoctorI suppose the little girl must be having a cold or running nose for some time. For the typical mark on nose may be a flag sign as it is called. A chronic cold with little wheeze or cough or breathing difficulty may cause chest pain or myalgic.first a mild analgesic may be Coquitlam as per her body weight along with anti-cold like minaret AF is advisable apart from home remedies like ginger tea, decongestant balms and hot soup. For a chronic persistent symptom we need a clinical examination. Hope this helps
