Patient's question:
Stomach pain causing left rib pain, specifically the two lower soft ribs on the left side. What could be the reason? Does stomach pain cause left rib pain?Doctor's answer:
Your condition, as described, may involve rib neuropathy or costochondritis. It is also not ruled out that it could be pneumothorax. For now, you can take oral medications such as Fenbid, Indomethacin, Yuanhu Pain Relieving Tablets, Vitamin B1, and Ketoprofen for symptomatic relief. If the effect is not significant, it is better to wait for a clear diagnosis before proceeding with treatment. In that case, you should have a thorough check-up at the hospital, including chest X-rays and ultrasound. I wish you a speedy and complete recovery.For patients with stomach pain, while symptomatic treatment is important, you can also use home remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. It is necessary to maintain a proper diet and avoid stimulating foods in your daily meals.
