"   Question My daughter is seven-years-old. A year ago one of her nipples enlarged (like when a teenage girl starts developing breasts).  It subsided just as the other breast enlarged. Now both breasts have \u2018budded\u2019.  I am concerned due to her age. She is not an overweight child and is fairly active. She occasionally complains of pain in her chest. Are these normal symptoms in young girls or should I take her to a specialist for some sort of tests?  If so, which type of specialist should I take her to?    Answer This problem is quite a common one and can occur at any age - it can even occur in boys. It is due to the influence of circulating hormones. In the vast majority of cases it is completely unrelated to any kind of disease. However, in a minority of cases it does represent a precocious puberty, which is caused by hormonal excess. There is another uncommon cause, which is infection. If there is a heat and redness in the swelling when the enlargement happens, then this might be the case. In sum, I suspect that this is not a medical problem, but if you are unsure then your GP would be first port of call.  If any other specialist advice was needed, it would be from a paediatrician.
