Hi.... Inverted T waves are very common in paediatric age group and are called Juvenile T wave pattern. This is usually seen in Leads V1 to V3.

If the child is not having any loss of consciousness or palpitations or acute shortness of breath and breathlessness you need not worry about them at all.
