Question: I have pain in left rib and really thirsty
Brief Answer:
Need some more details
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this pain that you have . I will like to know how bad this pain is and for how long this has been going on?
For now, drink as much water as needed.. If these symptoms are of recent onset, I will suggest that we monitor a little longer to obtain more information before acting on them.Thirst and left rib pain do not point to a single diagnosis and make me think these are transient observations and all would settle sooner than later.
In all, tell me more about the symptoms and the duration. my believe is that time alone would be enough to heal these symptoms.
I hope that this helps. I wish you well and hope to hear from you so that I can provide more information and helpful advice on how to address this problem.

Brief Answer:
Please, see medical examination!
Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks for this follow up.
At this time, your symptoms are not conclusive enough for me to make a definitive call. Though there is no emergency at this time, I cannot also say that you should disregard these symptoms. We need more information through a comprehensive physical examination and maybe some testing to understand what is happening.
In this light, I will kindly suggest that you get a doctor's appointment for evaluation and diagnosis. Treatment options would be guided by findings on examination and laboratory investigations.
I wish you well and let me know if there is something more that I can offer you at this time. Also, keep me posted.
