Have him check by a doctor. A child that young should not be getting heartburn. If he is having chest pains you need to have him looked at that is where you the parent is responsible and don't wait till for 7 days on Answers to see which one you like.
You need to have him looked at.

young children can have chest pain. My friends son was diagnosed with 'reflux' but he complained of it as chest pain. Also, is it possible he has asthma? Is it possible he has a heart related murmur? I have heard of kids having rapid heart beats, that actully require medicine, and they complain of chest pain. Next time he complains, take his pulse, note what the rate is, and if it's regular or not. Call his doc, and get him in for a check up. If he continues to complain of it, I'd call his doc.

well you can give him alkasetzer...wait for 1-2 hours, if it went away its heartburn, if not than go to a doctor, but if you think it REALLY is something serious, go to the doctor right away.

Take him to the doctor. He may have asthma. Either way, you shouldn't be asking people on here, doctors know best.
