Suggest Remedy For Aching And Soreness Around The Pectorals

Hi, my son is 10 years old and has been complaining of an aching feeling and soreness around his pectorals. This has been happening for a while now and we can not think of anything he may have done to injure himself. He is generally a fit, athletic (he is a gymnast) young boy. Many thanks Alexis

2. use vitamin c rich fruits which will reduce recent and future sore and aches.
3. in diet, takes pulses and eggs for protein and also take plenty of fluids, will prevent dehydration
