My kid, 7 years old, is complaining of upper back pain, some mornings. Can it be because of pillow?
She goes goes bharathnatyam class two days a week, since one year. Should I get her a very thin pillow?

Hi there.. upper backpain in kids could be due to many causes like over use ie muscle strain, hard beds/pillows, any spine fractures, congenital deformities of spine, infection of spine, rarely tumors of spine.. I suggest you change pillow and bed and give rest to your daughter's back muscles without dance for a week or two.. if it still persists then please get X-ray done to rule out any spine diseases.. consult orthopedician once..
