How To Treat Hard Immobile Knot In Chest In A 4 Years Old Child?

My 4 year old son has a hard immobile knot on his rib just lateral to the sternum. It IA on the left side. I have not noticed any growth. It is not tender when touched. ntly had a negative chest x-ray. Any ideas of what this could be? There is not a knot on the opposite side which would make me feel a little better.
