What Causes Stomach And Rib Pain With Difficulty In Breathing?
yes. hi. My 12 year old son has been complaining all afternoon that his stomach hurts and cannot seem to find comfort even with tums, gas-x or pepto. He is now saying that its hard to breath and he says that he has no energy. He is complaining about his rib cage. Not sure what to do…doesn t seem to get any better.

Hi dear
Welcome to the HCM,
He may be having some infection/inflammation in the lung and its covering called as pluera. Pain in the chest while deep breath is indicator of such problem.
Needs to be evaluated with CXRay. CBC. ESR. UPPER ABDOMEN USG,
ETC.
Get him examined by your pediatrician so that he can come out with exact thing.
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
