My daughter has been coughing for a week. Four days ago, she started complaining about chest pain, pointing to different spots, sometimes higher, sometimes lower. We did blood tests, an X-ray, and an EKG – everything came back normal. This morning, she threw up after breakfast, but felt fine the rest of the day. Now in the evening, she ate and it hurt again, and she threw up. What could this be? Does anyone have any ideas? She hasn't had a fever. We've already scheduled an abdominal ultrasound.

Did you test for whooping cough or just a general blood count? We also had no fever, though no vomiting, just a cough. All other tests and the general blood count were normal, but the whooping cough test showed positive. Many people are sick with it right now, and yes, it causes coughing fits that lead to vomiting and chest pain.

Brazhnik Mariya ask about whooping cough, it's very similar, especially if the cough is dry

Brazhnik Mariya The allergist sent us, after ruling out allergies. Our pediatrician wouldn't have, she would have just prescribed antibiotics. Because whooping cough requires quarantine, which people don't like, and also mandatory medical exemptions from vaccinations.

Brazhnik Mariya By the way, we got through it without antibiotics, even though they're usually given for whooping cough. We had all his vaccinations for it on schedule, the Pentaxim one, which covers whooping cough. He had the live vaccine at 2 years old, and we handled it fine. For a couple of days, he started coughing a lot, so I treated him with cough medicine, and it cleared up quickly. I just remembered now. The first week, I applied Dr. Mom to him, then for a week, I gave him pretty much nothing, and then came the powder cough medicine internally.

Is the option "it physically hurts from coughing" not being considered? It's a common thing for the sternum to hurt physically from a strong cough

Brazhnik Mariya His cough wasn't frequent at first either. The severe attacks started when I gave him Ingavirin, thinking it was a cold. Then we had to treat it more seriously.
