[|Human|] My 10-year-old daughter has been complaining of a mild-moderate dull pain underneath(not below) her left rib cage on and off for several months. She calls it her growing pains. What could be causing this pain. She says it is not sharp but that it hurts more than just a little and it is worrying her. She has not sustained any injuries to that area. She sleeps on a high quality mattress and is active in basketball and modern dance. The discomfort does not go away when she lies down. What could this be? -a concerned mother in Michigan
[|AI|]  DearWelcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your details. Mild-moderate dull pain underneath left rib cage usually suggest gastric disorder and such pains do not go away on laying down. You may take the help of antacid initially and if the problem persists, should consult a physician. There are other possibility like stress, school delinquency etc. Your physician should educate you.
