Pain in breast bone
My wife is suffering from pain in her left breast bone for the past few days. We are not sure what caused this, is this because of the stomach infection or a muscular or bone pain. Which doctor we should see or consult?

There is only a single breast bone (sternum) and its in the centre of the chest.
Maybe you mean pain over the ribs.
Visit a GP or your family doctor. If she detects anything serious in nature, she will refer you to the specialist.
