View allMy daughter is 7 and has started complaining about chest pain recently. She had a brain hemorrhage right after birth but recovered well from that. She never mentioned any pain like this before. Could you please give me some advice on what might be causing this?
Chest pain in children can have various causes, including respiratory infections, muscle strain, or even anxiety. However, given your daughter's history of a brain hemorrhage, it is important to rule out any serious underlying conditions. I recommend you take her to a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can give her Children's Tylenol (acetaminophen) at a dose appropriate for her age and weight to help with any discomfort.

My daughter suddenly fainted while running and we later found out she has a hole in her heart. What are the treatment options for this? Can homeopathy really help cure it since I've heard it can treat surgical cases? Or will she definitely need surgery?
open heart surgery and catheter based procedure is advised to the patient.
