Does Chest Soreness, Breathing Pain, Sternum Swelling Need Medical Attention?
Hi my son went to a trampoline party today and he came home crying with a sore chest. He says it s the bottom do his esophagus but it s on his sternum. He says it hurt every time he jumped. He is 12 and growing fast. He says it hurt a bit to breath? He has a swollen area to the right of center of the sternum just above where the ribs meet. Any ideas? Should we take him to the hospital?

Hi thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
Your child is mostly having musculoskeletal pain due to the exercise, simple paracetmol will be sufficient to relieve his pain, but it's always better to get him checked up to rule out any lung injury.
Hope this has helped you.
Kindly vote if so,
Good luck,
