What Is The Treatment For Chest Pain In The Right Side?
My 16 year old daughter is having right sided chest pain when she breathes is deeply. She has no history of asthma or any other issues like that. She was working in a dusty area earlier today. Can this be from breathing dust particles in. This started about 12-14 hours later and only on one side. Pheumonia, allergy, I m confused?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
Right sided chest pain on deep inspiration is seen in pleurisy.
Pleurisy is inflammation of pleura. And can be seen in
1. Pneumonia
2. Pleural effusion.
3. Tuberculosis
So any of the above can cause pain on inspiration. So better to get done chest x ray to rule out causes of pleurisy.
If chest x ray is normal than get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out bronchitis as a cause.
So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
