Please help with my pain under my rib cage.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com. Is the pain located on the right lower side or left lower side of the rib cage? It's important to determine this as different organs are situated in these areas, and the treatment approach may vary. Please let me know if you are experiencing cough, fever, chills, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, yellowing of the eyes, or any change in the color of your stools. Also, is the pain localized or does it travel to the other side or to the back? Have you had any recent surgery, falls, or hits to your chest? If you have any past medical history or medications that you would like to share, please provide those details as well.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. It seems like the pain you're experiencing could be originating from your chest and diaphragm or it may be a simple sprain. To further investigate, it would be helpful to get a chest x-ray done as sometimes pneumonia in the right lung can cause pain in the right side of the abdomen. Additionally, if the pain worsens after eating, we may need to consider gallbladder pathology. If the chest x-ray results are normal, an ultrasound of the abdomen would be recommended. In the meantime, for pain relief, I suggest taking Diclofenac sodium 50 mg twice daily. However, it is important to consult your doctor, discuss with them, and take the medicine with their consent.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. Thank you for following the recommendations. Based on the normal chest x-ray results, it appears that the source of the pain may be related to the liver or gallbladder. To further investigate this, I recommend getting an ultrasound of the abdomen while fasting. Remember to fast for 12 hours before the test. Additionally, please inform us if you have noticed any association of the pain with food.

Hello,
